She's a cutie isn't she? She knows it too - comes up and has her ears scritched  :D Just in case I wasn't already thinking of keeping her  ;)

I keep telling her we need a pair of handsome, fit, DIY experts to do all the chores we can't do/hate doing i.e fencing! LOL!
Sounds like a good plan to me  ;)

My Shetlands are ALL  pretty flighty...despite bucket training, being in with super duper friendly orphans... it is a shame as I would love to get closer to them and be able to sit amongst them like I do my others to scratch as they pass by but I think it is not to be. I will keep at it and just see if they come round  :-\
From 3 to 30 and still flocking up!

About half of my Shetlands will eat out of my hand I find that its a good way to get them used to me  There are some that will have none of it.
Shetland sheep, Castlemilk Moorits sheep, Hebridean sheep, Scots Grey Bantams, Scots Dumpy Bantams. Shetland Ducks.

That's about where mine are BC. Half will come up and eat out of my hand, a quarter of the rest hover nearby and the rest are wick - especially when I'm trying to gather them  ::)
