The Girls are growing fast
They have different personalities, but Maddie and Mew are in full agreement when it comes to sheep The Girls have attained the great age of five months and the honeymoon’s over, so far as playing in the field is concerned. When the dogs move out into the field the sheep (generally) retreat to a far […]
