I went outside for a bit today since it was so warm out. I wanted to spend some time with the girls. I brought my camera and took lots of pictures. These are some of my favorites.
Purl is so photogenic. She's got that classic sheep "look".
Darla on the other hand..... Well, I love Darla too. She's got more personality by far, but she's hard to take a good picture of. Her head looks like a bowling ball with wool on it. You can hardly see her eyes or even her ears!
Beautiful sheep...
And Darla. I think Darla is practically the cutest sheep to walk the planet though. She looks like a gigantic teddy bear. I don't know if she'll win any photo contests though. ;-)
And this is what I did. I fed the girls carrots (I can even hold one in my lips and Purl will take it from me), and I laid in the straw and relaxed. And listened to them munch on hay and chew their cud.
Purl chews each cud an average of 57-63 times before she swallows it again. She's like clockwork.
These are the things you learn when you hang out with sheep.

i love this post! purl has such a content look in the second pic but darla is such a bundle of love with her messy 'doo. please give them an extra hug for me. i have never been around sheep as the hubby does not permit anymore animals.
You're so right about Purl. She looks so handsome in those pictures. I love the black/white ones. Darla is such a cute fluff ball though. :) I love that you love being with your animals so much. I know they must love it too. That's so sweet that Purl will take a carrot from your lips. They really trust you. Animals are great therapy, aren't they? I think I could use an hour or two with your animals from time to time. :)
That's a lot of chewing, Purl! :)
Very cute post. I think they're just beautiful and would love layin there listenin to them munch, lol
I love how you bond with your animals Katie! They are lucky to have you as their mom! I think it is great for the health of both you and the animals when you get so intimate with them! I miss the smells and the sounds of having sheep... You are special, my Katie girl! Love and hugs, Momma
