Alex
Our cute little pet sheep is 5 months old tomorrow.
He was born on the 6th of June (6/6/2009) and we got him on the 8th as a two day old lamb that had been rejected by his mother. Lisa, The Kids and I bottle fed him while he lived in the backyard with the dogs. These days he’s out in the paddock with Malcolm and Maverick. The three of them get along brilliantly.
He’s still friendly and happy to come running up to us when we go out to see him. Adelaide has a bit of trouble with him because she used to jump around the back yard with him as a lamb and he still tries to do that – but he’s now big, heavy and has had horns. Adelaide is getting wary of him after he’s butted into her a few times.
We’re not sure how or why, but he’s lost both his horns. They were only short stubs anyway, but he’s lost them both. One was hanging loose when Lisa went out one morning; she thinks he might have knocked it when leaning through the fence to steal food from the Alpacas. Not sure when the other one went. Either way, it doesn’t seem to bother him in the slightest; he’s still happy grazing with the Alpacas, running around the paddock when we go out there and generally doing all the things Alex does.
