Thelma is easy to spot...because she has a spot. I prefer the two horned Jacobs, but sometimes at a quick glance they are harder to tell apart without their crazy extra horns. Thelma is easy because of her special nose spot.
Thelma is not a sheep of great personality like Tabitha, but she's started letting me walk past her in the shed lately, pretty closely, without jumping up. That's pretty noteworthy for a Jacob ;-). She's also frequently seen near Pinto, or I should say Pinto is frequently found near her.
I don't think he's sweet on her. He's pretty much given up the Romeo life. I think they are friends. My Jacobs have always tended to stay together and I think that's partly a breed thing, although the Ts did all come here together, but also sometimes seems like a spotted sheep thing. Pinto is a spotted sheep...but he only hangs with Thelma, so I think she's his best friend.
The ratio of black to white in her wool makes her blended fleece pretty dark, like a mottled dark gray. It's a little softer and finer than I prefer spinning, but her roving is a customer favorite.
Thelma likes cookies, but only if you toss them to her from a good distance away. Those silly, spooky Jacobs :-).

I love seeing the Jacobs because they don't get featured much on your blog. Every time you say a fleece is finer than you prefer I have to sit on my hands so I don't wave them over here..
She is pretty...maybe Pinto is her Louise:)
That picture seems like she is saying she is so done with pictures. haha
Yup looks like she is rolling here eyes... "Are we done yet? Throw me a cookie!"
