Sweetie Pie has always been more friendly than Poppet, probably because she lived in the house for a few days when she was newborn.  She loves me to scratch around her neck and ears and belly.  This afternoon both lambs came to the gate when I called them and I managed to scratch Poppet around her ear.  As if by magic, she closed her eyes in ecstasy and willed me to keep on rubbing.  For the first time she didn’t run away but stood there enjoying every second……as did I.
