Having our own sheep has brought a whole new dimension into our lives. I never thought I would see my city born husband on the ground, smiling and laughing while holding a sheep as it was sheared. Nor did I imagine him building fences, hanging gates or or gently stroking a ewe and talking to her while I cleaned a wound & shot her full of antibiotics. I never thought I would hear him tell me that he 'liked sheep'. His only experience with a dog growing up was with a crazy German Shepherd named Bongo that jumped through the front window a few times, terrorized the house and ate his shoes. That has changed. Now we have five dogs that eat his shoes. When we married I already had three kids and two dogs. I think the biggest shock for him was the kids, the dogs were the easy part....
