Come a Little Bit Closer

Many members who have been here for a few years might remember that, for quite some years, we had pet sheep. I probably wrote most about Hercules as we had him for a long time and he was a very gentle soul.
One that we didn’t have for quite so long was Oscar. He was a bit of a bully and would bunt the others out of the food bowl or chase them around just because he could. I’ve also put up photos of him standing on top of a big round hay-bale.
As you can see, he was quite happy to say hello to any visitors. In fact, I think he is wishing she’d come a bit closer.

@changjiangzhibin89 It's okay. My mother always said that her father said to her when she was upset about losing an animal 'Stock owners must be stock losers' and I try to remember that. We outlive most of our pets.

@JudyEv I know you miss your old house and the animals; but I'm glad you're in a place that will serve you well when you get older.

Looks like he's puckering up for a kiss.

He looks so cute and no way I could guess that he would be such a bully. He looks so friendly.
. That's a cute picture and it looks like that the little girl is not so sure about what to do

I knew somebody who had sheep including one who was bottle fed when he was a baby, but as he grew up he was like that. He had to go to a farm because he became a roughneck.
