Most people don't realise that sheep can be sociable with people, just like a cat or a dog. Here we were sitting at the edge of the field and Dom came and lay down next to us, chewing his cud, just content to be in our company on this lovely day.

Note also the *extremely* fashionable state of Giles' jeans. Balenciaga could sell those for a thousand quid.

@llamasoft_ox I think this has to do with the fact that most people do not have the opportunity to actually connect with sheep and observe them. Also there are breeds that are more or less interested in people...
It is so interesting how they interact and communicate. Teach their lambs or take other lambs with them on "playdates".

My sheep follow me better than our dogs...

@sibylle Yes, most people's experience of sheep is just seeing them run away in a field if they get close to them. That's one of the reasons we enjoy doing our daily Sheep Time videos, it allows people to see how sheep can be affectionate and full of character if treasted as companion animals instead of "livestock". 🐏🥰
