Any idea what this is?

Look again.

Briar stares at it suspiciously.  She ain't sure what it is either.

Here's a better look.

A couple of months ago, I bought some new sheep. Through a set of unfortunate circumstances, my sheep died before their arrival and so we picked up these girls instead. Two of them have rugs - heavy rugs! The rugs are supposed to fall off this Spring.  I sure hope so. If not, Other Half and I are going to learn to shear sheep.

  At the moment, they're still in isolation. Thus far, they've been pretty easy to handle.  That's a plus. Easy to handle is good.

Today is the first day of my wellness! Except for the fact that I still cough like a tuberculosis patient, I'm much, much better! I actually feel pretty good!  Thank you for all the well wishes, e-hugs, and flu advice!  The dogs are all kinds of excited.  They got to go on a walk in the pasture for the first time in a LONG time!

Blue Heeler and Border Collie think this is a fun game.  It won't be as much fun next year when Briar weighs 85 lbs and they're on the bottom!
