Our other kids


 For about a week now, we have had a sheep (technically a ewe) with a limp. This is not the first time we have had a health issue with a barn animal, but it still amazes me how worried I become over a barn animal. Of course you become upset when your cat or dog is ill, but your ewe? All of our barn animals think they are lap dogs, they are as attached to us as we are to them. My husband always teases me about building a house over the barn like they do in Europe.  That way we would have quick easy access to them in case of an emergency. There have been times, when I have considered it.

Let me introduce you to the family...
