Melody and her gang were some of the last so the water was rather horrible as they followed nearly 140 sheep..... but the effects are the same and their wool has developed a lovely crimp and is standing up soft and perky...... and Jonty has regained his adoration..... I must admit that last week he had developed a bit of a limp..... had had his feet trimmed which didn't help the situation, had also had a small injection to assist his recover all of which, including his dipping experience had resulted to a positive mistrust and filthy looks which can only be rivaled by Mitsie and Melody when they have their parts on!...... however this evening he is back to usual self, settling into his new favorite place in the elbow of where two rails meet...... he has a panoramic view of the whole field and all that is going on, and he sits chewing his cud contently keeping an eye on all his friends..... tonight with me along side him, tickling behind both his ears....... happy boy!
After the trauma of dipping over the weekend..... even Dudley wasn't talking to Nigel... everyone has settled back to the usual routine...... Mitsie is looking positively silky..... with Bonny and Honey two sheerings from last year who are going to be introduced to Dudley in two weeks time are white as the driven snow.... they were one of the first lots to be dipped before the water got a big murky......
