A new member of the family: Our Eunice

Up until now it's been pigs. The Pig and I; The Pignapper; Going the Whole Hog plus pig lavatory brush, pig with flowers painted on it, china pig on which to rest cooking utensils, etc etc. But, I saw this sheep last week and was immediately entranced by it. Its winsome faintly worried look, its round eyes which, just like the Mona Lisa's, seem to follow you around. Mr A didn't rave as much as I did but he did buy it for me and was in agreement that our sheep was female and was very nice, hence the name Our Eunice.  She sits on our decking looking through our glass sliding doors, keeping guard in a sheep-like matey kind of way. She is a real joy and, unlike other pets, doesn't need feeding or walking and doesn't let loose with smelly farts or nasty poo. I love her and cast her an appreciative smile each day.
