The sheep have all taken their shearing very hard and so I am worrying.

Lambie has gone into a decline, even resorting to being nice to me so he must be upset.

I’ve told him umpteenth times that he is still handsome. What more does he want?

The others spent their day hanging around the house, refusing to go anywhere which is not like them.  Eventually, I persuaded them to go into a field and I will leave them there all night.

And I am very worried about Barrel. He just sits by himself.

Edna has taken herself off down to the burn.  Yes, this is a very sheltered field with lots of long grass, but it will be difficult for her to come home (she struggles with walking) and I am worried about her.  This is not unusual behaviour for Edna, though, after shearing.  She has done this before.  The others were horrible to her too, so she might just want some time out from the flock.

I spent my day checking her, popping down with her breakfast and then with some TurmerAid in the hope she will rest here, then feel better and come home.  Failing that, tomorrow, I will get her back by the best means possible.

Meanwhile, Gussie and Dahlia refuse to talk to anyone (obviously Pepper is not just anyone).

And Bert’s best friend is a duck.

Obviousy, I will spend my night worrying about them all.  The shearing needed to be done and I suspect a lot of this are sulking by any other name.
