When Rocky and Jared moved here last summer it was fun to watch them out exploring the farm, side by side, best friends forever. When they moved into the main flock I hoped they'd become friendly pets, but wasn't sure that at their age that would happen.
Jared immediately bought into the cookies and was happy to let me scratch his head and back. Rocky was Not Interested At All. No cookies, definitely no scratches! In fact, as soon as I'd come around, he'd head for the field...and tell Jared to come with him. And Jared would. For a few weeks ;-).
I'm not sure why Jared is so fascinated by Frankie, but I keep finding him standing in front of Frankie's gate. They actually sniffed noses just a second before I was able to grab my camera and take this picture.
The best part of this picture? Well, sure, Jared and Frankie are pretty darn cute, but look in the background. Rocky. You can just see the disappointment written across his face. "We don't act like that, Jared!"
Jared has become one of my all time favorite sheep. I love Rocky, too, but Jared is extra special :-).
