do you lay them straight when you pick up sticks with Maggie

@shepherdewan What do you mean do I lay them straight?

[shepherdewan]

what is her name is she a good girl do you cuddle her

[Gimmer3]

@shepherdewan Her name is Maggie. She likes a little love but she is a fierce and independant Scottish Blackface. Her favorite thing is walking out to great you every time you go out and standing to have her brisket scratched a bit. If you hug her too much she get annoyed. She is a proud Scot. LOL. What she wants to do most is just be near you. She loves to follow me around when I pick up sticks and stuff in the yard. She also sits with me when I cook outside.

sheep are clever not stupid

[Gimmer3]

@shepherdewan  Exactly, they are sometimes allot smarter than me. I have one who comes when called like a dog and likes to play with dogs. She is in this video.
