Chone is the flock’s offical goodwill ambassador, always coming to greet us at the gate with a smile-
And just this morning, I finally got some quality time with Edgar. Was so nice to just sit with him and fondle his lovely moorit locks while he and Chone chewed their cud. His fleece has such a nice silky feel. Just love it!

So, now I’m 4 for 5 on the socialization-
Griff is my only holdout, and I think he’ll give in pretty soon, now that his brother has warmed up to me.

Will try to get some good pictures of the fleeces this week-

Edgar says:

“Just happy to be here helpin’ out the team” 🙂

BTW- Just got our very first egg today! Isn’t it pretty?

Guess what we got this morning!

Yep, that’ll keep the boys for a while, I think.
Got a ton (literally) of hay packed in the woodshed.

In other news, I’ve won over Felix and Franklin with goodies and ear scritches,

and so I thought I’d give halter training a go!
The halter that we got from Premier one is still too big for the tiny sheeps, so I thought I’d make one from some heavy duty handspun yarn-

And here it is on our lucky first contestant!

It fit ok, but it’s really hard to keep the thing on the woolly buggers, especially when they start acting like bucking broncos!

So, I finally just let him wear it around for a while.

“Hey Frank- little help here?”

He finally came back to Maaaaa to see if I’d set him free.

Then everyone went to take a break behind the extra gate up against the shed. (seems to be a favorite spot)

Some pretty scenery from around the yard today-

Have a great week!

Bruno was such a good boy.

affectionate

loyal
fun-loving             
patient                        
kind
dependable
uncomplaining

We brought Bruno home from the Skagit Humane Society in 1999. He was just a youngster- probably under a year old.

And we went on to have all kinds of great adventures over the years-

“On Duty” in Leavenworth-

Taking in the scenery at Deception Pass

Staying at a fancy hotel in downtown Seattle-

Playing at the Dog Park!

Building Fences-

Getting his very own kitty!

Sharing a moment over coffee-

Posing for the Christmas Card photo-

We both loved Bruno dearly, and he will always live in our hearts.

He was a very special boy.

It is hard to be without him.
