My precious Edie, the sweetest sheep God ever made.
Every day it's the same routine:
I start the morning feeding chores at the big barn where Daisy and Edie's stall is located...
not because they're that special (which they kinda are) but because it's also adjacent to where the chicken feed is kept.
I give Daisy and Edie a little grain and a nice, tasty block of hay, and then it's on to the chicken coop.
But then I turn around to see they are following me...
abandoning their grain and hay and walking along beside me on the other side of the fence.
Almost as if they want something more from me...
Could it possibly be the sweet corn I have in my bucket which was supposed to be for the chickens? Hmmm?
Try looking at this next picture and NOT imagine that they are saying,
"Oh please, just a little nibble? Puh-leeese?"
And then, like a National Geographic special on sharks- the feeding frenzy begins.
Daisy is always the first to get her head through the fence and her tongue to the scoop...
(Edie is a little slow...)
The corn flies out of the scoop as she licks all she can before
Edie manages to get her head through the fence...
Then Edie mops up what's left...
Ever heard of a "milk moustache"?
This is very similar and it's called "corn lips".
Once the corn is all gone,
they turn and calmly walk back toward the barn;
back to their grain and hay......
*Sigh*
I feel so used....
Happy Good Friday, everyone!!
Good Morning, Paula. What sweeties they are! I think they have you trained well!!!!! I love their "corn lips!"
ReplyDeleteEaster blessings to you and yours.

Corn lips! haha I love it. They have the prettiest faces and used or not they love sure love you.
ReplyDeleteThey are just precious Paula, I ♥ them! Hope you and your family and furry ones all have a lovely Easter:)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful Resurrection weekend for you and your family....love the corn lips! hugs and smiles
ReplyDeleteNow you must have spoiled them! But they are cute; I'm feeding a calf on the bottle ~ again!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a sheep, I would want to live at your house :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky animals you have!!
Have a fun weekend!!
The last pic reminds me of Oliver Twist. "Please sir, may I have some more?" ;)
ReplyDeleteThose cute little sheep girls are so darn sweet! I'd love to visit you and play with all your animal babies! Happy Easter Paula!
ReplyDeleteAhhh..Edie is beautiful, and all girl sheep need to have cornlips now and then. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a farm animal anywhere that doesn't recognize a feed bucket : ) Love these black-faced beauties!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! And I thought your fuzzy bottom pictures were adorable! LOL I love Edie and Daisy. They are so beautiful. I wonder if I can talk my hubby into us getting some sheep. Hmmm, probably not, since he has already agreed to chicks, ducks, goats, and rabbits. I guess I shouldn't be greedy, huh! I hope you and your hubby have a wonderful Easter. Our kids are coming home for a BBQ. So it will be wild around here. (grin)
ReplyDeleteAnd if you need a godmother for Edie, sign me up! I mean, I am ready willing and able to love her with all the love a person can give an animal! You can TELL she's the sweetest sheep in the whole world, with a face like that!
