Did you say....

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Yes...yes I did! lol.

My sheep LOVE to play with the large pink "jollyball" (not really a jollyball, cuz it's bigger than that, but more like those big balls you can sit on and bounce on lol, ya know, from when you were kids?)that is out in their pasture....although they do use it to cause trouble *cough*bashinginthegate*cough.

Today I played with them some and took a video for the other sheepy members on a sheep I'm on, but I just had to share it here as well!

Here is the video (photobucket version; I did upload it to YouTube, but it's still not showing up! )

I also have some pictures from when they were playing; I'll get them up later!

That was the first thing that made me really smile all day!!!! Your sheepies are so sweet... I love their little floppy ears when they run. I absolutely adored the sheep-binky toward the end. Not sure if that is what you call it, but it definitely looked like a binky!!!! Such a happy sheepies with the new toy!!!

:inlove:Awww, I love Macey and Lissie! They are just so cute a fluffy! Macey seemed to like soccer more then Lissie though. Haha, Buddy wanted to play too!

Next timeI come over we should play soccer with them or something, if it's nice enough out.

They are so cute - like a couple of puppies. I had no idea that sheep like to play like that. :biggrin2:

 

[JadeIcing]

I Love Sheep!

Although sadly I have never had one of my own. But when I was in Agriculture we had a farm and raised sheep It was alot of fun. Except we were the ones whocastrated themand docked tails their tails. I hated doing it.

LOL! I love it! Our sheep had a smaller ball they did that with! We need to get another one for the goat and sheep now! I haven't gotten them Christmas but that's a great idea.

Where did you get that big jolly ball? Our horses have the smaller horsey ones. Or is that seriously a hop ball thing? if it is, I can get one of those someplace easy!

Your sheep are really nice looking. Are they good and muscular under that wool?

Montel doesn't have a good wool coat this year. He's got to have a coat to wear. I ordered him one and Catalina one this week.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Thanks everyone!


myHeart: Thank you! Yeah that's what I call them, sheep-binkies! The toy isn't actually new, it is the goats' actually, but they never play with it.

FallingStar: We'll definitley have to play it with them the next time you come over! lol. I forgot about it yesterday and we could of played it then! On Sunday, how about, if you come over...? lol.

SlavetoaBunny: I had no idea they could play like that either! lol. It's so cute watching them run and jump!

Thanks BoB!

The ball was there when we moved the sheep in, actually. But I'm going to get them a soccer ball or basketball for x-mas (not one of those fancy-schmancy ones though! Lol. Just something like $7) I think that the pink ball is really one of those hop-balls, but I'm not really sure, never seen anything like it with that purple handle-thingy.

Thanks! I hope they're muscular! lol. I'm hoping from them jumping and running like they do, it will help to get them muscular. On the sheep forum I'm on, many breeders have actual tracks and track dogs that they use to run the sheep; I'm basically doing the same thing except without the track and the dog! lol.

I have two sheep coats, but they're wool makes them so fluffy that the coats dont fit them anymore, so I told my dad I needed to order two X-larges (and the place we ordering them from are on sale ) so hopefully he'll order them and the old ones will be for Spring and the new ones will be for Winter.

Awesome!

I ordered our coats from a person online. I hope they turn out as nice as they look online! Here's the website:

We also use Sullivan's a lot for sheep and goat stuff.

Sheep LOVE to play. I love when they jump! it's so darned cute! and the babies OMG they are hilarious!

Those coats are much more neat-er looking that the plain white ones we have! Lol. I think I'm going to have to see how much those will cost, instead!

[Bo B Bunny]

Are you getting coats (to keep them warm)or sheets to keep them clean?

We have both. Let me know what you are wanting them for and I'll tell you what to look at on that site. They are cheaper than most I've seen! and she is SO nice! I really like her!

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

We're getting them mostly for both. The ones we have now are kind of like polyester canvas-stuff. They're really great at keeping water off the sheep!

I looked at those coats and they are pretty cheaper! Cheaper than most I've seen!

Emily

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Yep and she's making one special for Catalina cause she's really long and needs to fatten up - so she can't have them as big in the belly as normally you would - she's a young goat so she's not filled out yet.

That lady's name is Pat and she will help you if you need to talk to her about sizing and what you want for them.

I think her little baby lambie coats are so cute!

 

[kherrmann3]

Aww! That is so cute! Sheepies!

 

[Becca]

Awwwwwh Sheep are the best :shock:

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh wow. They are awesome. I love sheep, but I didn't know they were so much fun . Seems like they give you plenty of exercise too

Oh yah! I get my good workout for the day just by running up and down the pasture with them! Lol.

I might play with them tonight when it's dark, cuz that's fun too. Last time, If I had my camera I would of taken a picture of Macey standing against the light and you could see her breath, it was SOOO cool! Will try to get one of her tonight

Pennie, the baby lamb blankies are really cute! lol. OK I will have to see what my dad says....

Emily

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Ok, I told her I mentioned her to you. She emailed me to say the coats had shipped for me. I'll let you know what they look like - I'm sure they are nice!

I was doing really well and then saw this and I really want babies again! I love lambs!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Oh wow! We got the goat and sheep coats today and let me tell you! They are fabulous! If anyone needs dog coats, sheep coats, etc., check out her site. She did such a terrific job! I can't believe the quality! I'm so pleased! and our goat looks so cute in hers!
