Sheep Training

Well all week when I have been up to the meadow I have  rattled the bucket, at first Petal and Blossom, ( I have yet to name the third lamb/sheep) just ran away - but today they lingered and took a step towards me, then ran away. So perhaps this was a step in the right direction! I know its a long way until I have them halter trained but I have heard, do it slowly. They seem to be good at posing and look like they are smiling for the camera though.xx

    I love the smiles! It does take a while, but they will come up to you eventually. I remember mine running away when I appeared, but this morning they were (as usual) crowding around me nudging my hands for apples.

    Thanks for your lovely comment on my post about my mom. I am so sad to hear of the much more recent loss of your mom. You are so right ... it takes a long time for the colors to return to life. Praying for you, Sarah, as you grieve.

    Fondly,
    Glenda
