Miss Lucy is one of two of my first sheep that my Robyn got me for our 3rd wedding anniversary. Miss Putt Putt is the other of the pair. Miss Lucy was 4 at the time she came to live on the farm and set my dream of having a fiber flock in motion. That was 11 years ago now, and that makes Miss Lucy 15 this year.
Right in the feels on this one - I have an 18 year old (goat) oldie that somehow keeps going. I’ve started sneaking her grain too. We have a lot of history together and I’m not ready to let her go but she’s really started to decline this winter. I keep hoping/dreading that she’ll just go peacefully in her sleep to ease both our hearts but she’s a tough old thing. *sigh* This life is not for sissies, that’s for sure.
PS: I might hate you. You got me all worked up about this circular sock machine learning. Found someone to give me private lessons. Only a 7 - 8-hour drive. So, hotel for 2-3 nights and a couple of hours of lessons each day we could become dangerous with hurt elbows from all the cranking!
Sending so much love and warmth <3

Well Miss Lucy is 74 years old. She even beats me! (sheep age times 4) + 14= her age
What a lovely life Miss Lucy has. She is so not like stereotype sheep. Her personality is so impressive.
