Solstice Sheep Of The Day - Ellie



As all the cool kids say, "She cute."


She's also a bit of a sass bucket :-).  That ear is frequently cocked back, much like a raised eyebrow.  Ellie is a front and center sheep and always comes over to see what I'm up to, especially if I have my camera.  She's cute and she knows it.


And the smirk.  Don't you just want to goochy goo her under the chin?  If you do, her face is very soft and her facial hair is just a bit longer than most sheep and it's almost silky.  

One night, when she was still a fairly young lamb she chewed on a spring snap and ended up hooking her cheek like a fish.  Actually hooked herself.  Like a fish.  When I found her the next morning, Tim had to come up and work the "hook" out.  Like a fish.  Not the best claim to fame.

The vet came to make sure she didn't need stitches and commented that she'd never seen anything like that before...and just a few weeks later the exact same thing happened on a nearby farm.  I'm sure they thought I was just trying to one up them when I told them the same thing had already happened over here.

Ellie likes saltines the best.

My youngest granddaughter is 17 and your description of Ellie the sheep sounds exactly how I would describe my Ellie the girl! Gotta love them🫶🫶

What's a spring snap? A weed or sorts?
