One would have to be blind not to see it. I have serveral 'senior citizens' here too, and am glad to see them up and going each morning. Back when Jeff, my ram got sick his twin brother, Callum (a wether) stayed right with him through the days of treatment before he died. After Jeff had died in the night, Callum was out grazing that morning, no longer needing to watch over him I guess. Fortunately that sad wether was intregrated with the rest of the flock and loves hanging out with his mom (even after eight years of seperation!) and sisters.<br />Take care, and I hope Jester is feeling better about things.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-68400732611050234382012-03-15T20:08:42.952-05:002012-03-15T20:08:42.952-05:00Thanks everyone for such kind and understanding wo...Thanks everyone for such kind and understanding words.
