I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

Thank you for letting me know I interacted poorly. I'm sorry if I made you or anyone else uncomfortable. I'm taking it seriously, and i'm going to be better.
i'm happy to hear that! we should be facilitating healthy boundaries for ourselves and for everyone, especially online. i appreciate you taking it seriously.
