sheepish

Sheepish antics.

{via}
 If you've never raised sheep before, you probably think of them as boring, rather stolid balls of wool, who happen to possess tasty loins. All of this is true; but there is much quiet joy and peace in their very stolidity. Hang out with a flock of sheep for a while and you can't help but realize the overarching rhythms which make up the animal world.

Sheepish actions never change. The things they do now (eat, breed, poop, give birth, play) are not new, and they aren't going  to change anytime soon.

And yes, sheep do play. They jump around, run and leap up with all four legs off the ground for no apparent reason, like a carefree young child on a beach. 
This is very amusing to watch. Not so amusing is the crazed rush of every single animal towards you when you're carrying their food....

Also for no apparent reason, I write out a sheep essay and post in on my blog.

I love sheep.

  1. I think sheep fall into the "awkward but adorable" category of animals, they just seem like such characters!
    I'm jealous you get to be around them often!
