Nice to pair up with cozy leftovers and restful night after lots of work. <br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-29803009726476056762010-12-27T20:37:19.971-10:002010-12-27T20:37:19.971-10:00I think my ram (Elvis) is more of a poseur than a ...I think my ram (Elvis) is more of a poseur than a truly battering ram. He runs up to you, almost skipping, and if you put out your hands like you are catching a football, he stops and shoves his head in your hands. In fact, once I had him in the improvised rope halter and in the pasture (both of us trembling a bit) he sort of sighed and leaned on me like a dog. I do take care not to turn my back on him, ever, I must add. I am not sure he would stop if there were no hands to cuddle into. He mostly gets mad if you are looking like you'll manhandle one of his ewes or if you are carrying any source of water - hose, spray bottle, bucket. I gather his last owner used a spray bottle of vinegar....NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-49269580833684325922010-12-27T14:34:44.496-10:002010-12-27T14:34:44.496-10:00A good sheep dog (like I don't have) isn't...A good sheep dog (like I don't have) isn't as good as the "magic can or feed bucket". Getting the ram was quite gutsy on your part, he could have butted you like he did the dog.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.com
