Cookie is ready for summer. 🖤🤍

As many of you know, we keep Katahdin sheep to help mow our grass. Katahdins are a special breed that shed, making shearing unnecessary and therefore incredibly low maintenance. We adopted Cookie about 2 months ago and she is our first to require shearing. We called the Kline Farm in Mifflinville where we purchased our 2 original Katahdins 13 years ago. They also raise Suffolk sheep which require DO shearing, and were willing to share their expertise. Shoutout to Ron and Alex, we appreciated their help so much!

Once upon a time there was a sheep named Cookie. Cookie had lost her sheep friend and it made her very sad. So her family bought her a little sheep stuffed animal to keep her company and it worked!
We agreed to bring Cookie to live with us so she would have even more sheep friends!
Gravely and Gressa took some convincing; it has been several months since they had lost their siblings as well, and they were afraid to open their hearts again. They weren’t sure they could even accept, Oreo, the stuffed sheep. But Cookie chased them down, won them over and now they are a flock of 3. The end.

This took a lot longer than it should have. 😑

‼️ New Addition Alert ‼️

is happy to announce the new puppy that has brought all kinds of snuggles and laughter into our lives. The sheep feel hesitantly positive, while the cats question our life choices and consistently encourage us to seek professional help. I think we’ll win them over yet. 😸

Asche (pronounced AH-sha) is a purebred *gray* Newfoundland. She was born on October 2 in Kenna, WV. More updates to come!
