The Ram


For Christmas Eli gave me a boost to get a ram so that we can have some lambs in the spring. After some scrambling, Tina and Bob kindly agreed to make the trek to Pueblo where Chuck met us with Gilligan, a four horn who was looking for some love.
We got Gilligan back to Ewetopia just as the sun was going down and he quickly got acquainted with the ewes. He took an immediate liking to Sister Theckla, our sheep who looks and acts a bit like a prissy nun. She was not very happy with the situation and kept running away, which got Luthien in a protective mood and some butting got underway. She accidently butted her best friend Angel who got a little huffy and was ready to go head to head with Luthien. Then they remembered that the new guy was bugging their usual victim so they both took off after Gilligan. Eventually everyone ended up in the night time enclosure, so Jim went in and shut the gate for the night.
