Hey, Don't Eat That!

Dierdre keeps eating the COB (corn, oats, barley, and molasses) I bought for the sheep. Do all animals have a sweet tooth?

I rarely give the sheep COB, but I wanted the nursing ewes to get some extra calories, so I purchased a bag. All the sheep (including the rams who certainly don't need to put on weight) love it, as do the hens. But the dog?

Sounds like the beginnings of granola. Yum!

Sharon, you're right, it does sound yummy; I hadn't thought of it that way! But, again, for dogs? I guess I shouldn't be surprised by what a dog may find appealing. I just pulled a piece of hay off Dierdre's nose that I'm sure she acquired while snitching COB....

Perhaps Dierdre thinks she's a sheep.

Hi Diane! I am not trying to be nosy, but I miss reading your blog. Hope you update something soon:)

Hannah, thanks for the email! I've been so busy with work lately that I've neglected my blog. Also, thank you for the compliment; I'm glad you enjoy reading it.
