Haven't written much about the little darlings recently, have I? Pet lambs Cookie, Buster, Curly and Tootsie continue to grow and amuse (mostly) here at Struan Farm. A few days ago they didn't show up at the back gate for breakfast, or respond to my calls, so I went off to find them. Turns out they were down near the Cottage, and came barreling up to another gate near the gardens at our house after I located them.
I thought it was going to be easiest to herd them across the front lawn to get them back to their home base. Lesson learnt-- I was just about bowled as they kept jumping up on me. Buster is biggest, but they're all quite strong and rowdy. Bottles were involved. My pants got trashed and ankle scraped.
So the deal now is if they don't show up, they don't get fed. I will call out for them, of course. But I'm not going to get myself mauled again. And I've made sure everyone has read the memo.
