Cami is still not sure she wants to be a pet sheep but she's very curious when Ollie and Wickery get hugs and cuddles. Her favorite thing is to come up behind my lady and give her a good sniff over and nibble her hair. Cami has been here since the end of July so it's still early days. Most days my lady doesn't try to touch her because she's still skittery. xoxoxoIsobelleGoLightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233377230754119180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-86656058424257783942012-09-29T17:05:12.776+00:002012-09-29T17:05:12.776+00:00They sound gorgeous.
