Well! Some sheep might be a bit benign but the male of the two bum lambs were bottle fed and kept as pets was a right arsehole about HIS corn! Used to butt the door of the house when it was close to feeding time; then, if we were quick about it, we'd dash out the door, throw his corn down and make a mad dash for the car. As he grew, this became even more of an adventure for the children and us. My poor, sturdy Subaru, used to haul water for all uses, able to plow over or through huge snowdrifts etc with nary a scratch, suffered mightily from "lambie-lamb". He KNEW I was the chief source of food, so naturally he followed me to the driver's side door. I had a big dent in it from him. what a macho fellah!

After he died from his own stupidity, the female Lambie-Lamb (very sweet) chummed up to the horse, standing under his belly, parallel to him, with her head sticking out from between his front legs. The night we sold him, when we were leaving for the East, she ran away three times to the nieghbour's horses. It was a sad and sorry site which broke our hearts.

Praise - have you written any children's books? You should.
