[Jacob-list] wether pictures.

[J Thomas]

I have a gelding in with my sheep. He guards them like
a sheep dog. Gets between them and danger, sniffs and
licks them to make sure that they are okay. Nickers at
them if they wander farther than HE thinks they should
away from him.

My best "picture" was this winter, when they were all
down sleeping. Horse was in middle with sheep all
around him. Wished I could have gotten outside and
gotten a picture w/out disturbing them.

Love these animal interactions! Have fun all at the
AGM this weekend in Raleigh! I'll miss it --
daughter's dance recital day!
