I have always been known to take in stray dogs and cats but a stray sheep, this is a first. About a month ago we had a stray sheep show up at our house. She had a half grown baby with her when we first saw her. She couldn't really get into our field with the cattle so she went on up the road. I was at work when Richard sent me a picture of them on my cell phone and he said you were wanting a sheep but by the time I got home they were gone. About two weeks later she showed up without the young one. Wandering around like she did I guess something got the baby. We let her in the field, the cattle didn't like her at first but after a day or so they didn't care that she was there. She wouldn't come to us but we would go talk to her. Last Monday night we noticed her belly looked awfully big and guess what Wednesday morning when Richard went to check the cows he called me and said you need to come back home and see your new babies. The first pictures you see is the morning after she had them, and Richard being the softie he is was worried something would get them so he herded them to the barn and that is where we are keeping her until they get a little bigger.The cattle didn't know what to think. They never seen anything like this before. I ride up there in the night sometimes to make sure they are all right. Friday night I heard dogs barking so I rode up there at 10:30pm to make sure they were safe. Richard made the barn enclosure more secure so I hope they will be all right but I worry about them all the time.We named them Dora and Jessie. My little great nephew Lucas (who is like a grandson) to me sure did like them.
