Good morning from Eddie 😘

His little nose freckle is growing !

10/22/2026

I don’t know what got into the littles - but they transformed into wild mustangs as soon as the sun set.

Kenny started it all by nipping at the girls until they took off and joined in the Kenanigans. He knew what he was doing.

It makes my heart sooo happy to see little Kenny zooming around with the girls 🥹. I can just tell how excited he is to be part of a herd.

He is still a ways off from zooming with the main herd, but his little evening crew makes him feel safe.

Mocha did get going FAST and Kenny was not too sure lol. He will always make it seem like he is coming over to check in on me and make sure I am ok 😌.

Kenny still prefers to be the one doing the chasing (and b***y biting). He would let the girls get a head start and then race off full speed after them and into the darkness.

Evening zoomies are literally the highlight of my day. No matter how crummy or exhausting the day was - this will make me smile. I know lots of you feel the same way - and that’s pretty special. I love being able to share our little family with people around the world, and know that they bring joy to others as well.

Heart melt moment ❤️

This morning I looked out to see Nana Hannah out with little Eddie 🥹. All of the other sheep had come in to nap, but she stayed out with him while he grazed.

Hannah is a senior - she is 12 years old which is quite old for the breed of sheep she is. She is a Dorset mix and 220 lbs lean. She is also the flock matriarch and calls all the shots amongst the sheep.

We have her biological daughter Holly here, as well as her two biological grandkids Hank and Hazel. Hannah was the most amazing grandma to the twins and co parented with Holly.

When she met Eddie she took on the grandma role right away and is still going strong with it.

Eddie was orphaned before he came to us and raised as a bottle baby. It can make learning social skills more difficult , but Hannah makes sure any little ones are well versed in sheep socials.

Although Eddie is getting quite large, Hannah still babysits and keeps an eye on him. Nobody is allowed to push him around or Hannah will be on them about it.

How sweet is she just resting her head against him 🥹. The world would be a much better place if we had more Hannah’s looking out for those who need it.

Kenny when I have a strawberry…
Vs Kenny when I tell him he has eaten all the strawberries 😅.
Talk about mean mugging me. Flares nostrils and all.

Kenny had his massage today, so he has some KT tape (the blue tape) on his little shoulder to help with some circulation right after. Our little man is doing great and feeling good.

Well… he would be feeling better if I had more strawberries 😅🍓

Peachy hopes you’re having a good Thursday!
She also hopes I have cookies in my pocket 😅

Good morning from Charlie… he wanted to show you his new look.

I guess he thought he would nice with some eyebrows so he managed to apply some burrs in the general area brows would go.

I did try to take his new brows and he introduced me to the horns in the most polite ways possible.

So… this will be a task for Mike as Charlie adores him and thinks he can do no wrong. As the mother I am not allowed to comment on his fashion choices I guess 😅.

Charlie is starting to get quite thick! The curls will come in about a month - and Charlie will be winter ready.

Come along with Kenny for a minute of our evening walk! I should say run…. Kenny has decided that walking is over rated and he should just run everywhere. Maybe he thinks I need the extra cardio to keep up.

Kenny had a little stone get stuck in his hoof the other day which made a small bruise. He was a bit sore for a day but is back to himself already 🥰. I have asked him not to jump around to let it fully finish healing.

So, we went for a walk instead to keep him busy! A lap or two around the pond, up to collect Eddie, and then a zoom to the herd for sunset grazing time.

The trees are turning and it is starting to look a lot like fall around here.

Kenny hopes you like the minute of peace on our walk 🥰 (Phillip the duck may not agree about how peaceful that was)

Kenny after I catch him trying to bite Mocha AND Peachy’s booties.

He chomps and then he runs to hide behind me 😅.

And… he gets away with it.

Who could be mad at that grin?!

Well… I need a better flashlight first of all.

The last few nights Annie has been staying out late , alone, and making me find her. It’s the most unnerving game of hide and seek 😅. I don’t want to play anymore Annie.

This started after everyone was stuck inside Monday while we did trenching. Annie decided she had to make up for lost grazing time by staying out after dark.

Annie is wildly independent and doesn’t care that the herd went to their stall in the nice barn - Annie needs her late night

This was the first night she did it and she honestly did startle me lol. Normally she talks when I call her, but this time she was silent and just standing still staring at me 🧍‍♀️

So as long as Annie keeps up our spooky evening hide and seek - I will post in our stories! Her twin sister Dottie joined me last night for moral support at least 👻

Ollie is just looking at me like “mom… what’s going on here?!”
