It occurred to me, the other day, that many of my lambs will be leaving for their new homes soon and I haven't even begun halter lessons! With a three day reprieve from the heat and humidity, there's no more time for excuses.
Zaria's lovely daughter, "Snip" volunteered to go first:
Perhaps "volunteered" isn't the right word?
I don't understand why they always get so upset!
;-)
Snip appears to be ambidextrous!
She can throw herself to the ground on either side!
Perhaps if she hides her face, I'll go away?!
I recognize that reaction ~ I do it all the time!
DREAM to the rescue!
Maybe if I bite this rope...
Stay here, while I go talk to Mom...
Poor Snip!
"I'm thinkin' that you best untie this lamb!"
And don't make me have to tell you TWICE!
Yes, Dreamer!
The halter is off. Time for a little neck scritchin'...
NEXT???
Ya gotta love 'em! I remember the first time I put a halter on Ahma. Oh, my, it still brings tears to my eyes....sooooo funny.
ReplyDeleteOh dear...hee hee. We goats don't like halters but we don't throw ourselves on the ground.... that's a little funny! So dramatic! Tee hee. As always...very beautiful sheep! Hellooooo DREAM!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,

Good to be back!

I'm still giggling from yesterday when I first read this post - but didn't take time to comment. The idea of a sheep doing the limp "go ahead and arrest me" bit is hilarious! Reminds me of the first time I put a halter and leash on one of my cats years ago - he did the same thing! On the other hand, My dear Calico friend fights having it put on her, but once it's on she walks around with it unconcerned.

And I forgot to mention that I love that you quote Kristofferson's lyrics.....
