Liddy's claim to fame? She got kicked out of a fiber festival!
"I did?"
Well, they didn't make her leave early, although I'm sure they wanted to, but we were asked to never bring her back. Why? Liddy is a talker...and she has the voice of a three pack a day smoker. People complained that she was "growling".
Volume Up
I had a question about Andy's bell back at the beginning of the Solstice series and I thought I would just answer it when Liddy's turn came about, figuring she'd not be far behind...and here we are three from the end. Liddy is the other belled sheep. There are just two even though it sometimes sounds like more.
The bells do a couple of jobs here. First I can always find the sheep, just by listening for them. They don't go out in the dark, but we can have some really foggy mornings and because of the bells I've been able to tell which field they are in even when it's so thick I can't see them.
The other thing the bells do is tell me what the sheep are doing. If they are just grazing or walking back in from the back fields, the bells just jingle. If something has spooked the sheep and they are running in, the bells CLANG CLANG CLANG and I know to go check.
Sometimes the bells also tell me when Liddy is into something she shouldn't be. Liddy comes out for an extra breakfast in the mornings and sometimes stays with the Easy Breezy sheep longer than she's able to keep herself out of trouble.
Liddy loves all treats, but especially loves her special breakfasts. She could just move into Easy Breezy...but she doesn't stay out of trouble. Ever. That bell is always ringing.
