I love sheep.

Which is kind of weird, but bear with me. (All photos in this post courtesy Kathy Russell.)

I’ve been wanting a pet one for awhile now. These Dorset sheep belong to my sheep farmer friend Kathy. She has a farm in the next county over. Her Dorsets are pregnant now.

This is what Dorsets look like when they are all clipped and cleaned up.

Aren’t they adorable? Don’t they look just like those soft plastic baby toys that you squeeze to make them squeak?

In the spring, when the pregnant Dorsets deliver, I’M GETTING A BABY TOY OF MY OWN!!!!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
