   Hello Ame, I had a pet sheep, her Mother died and I bottle raised her, she 
also thought I was her Mother and that she was a dog. She did all the things 
you are saying your sisters did, but she also chased the mail lady if she 
could with the dogs down the fence line, it was too funny. Bell would also 
dig holes with the dogs! Bell died 3 years ago and I miss her a lot but I 
will never go that route again I loved her too much. She loved Easter baskets 
and used to carry one around all the time and to this day I cant look at an 
Easter basket without getting teary eyed. I think sheep were meant to live in 
a pack, and the reason she took up with the dogs was to have the 
companionship. Sheep are known to be very dumb, but like anything else if you 
work with them they can learn a lot of things. Having Bell was a blast and an 
experience I will never forget, these posts brought the great memories back 
once again.
