Lulu balked again at crossing the water at the flooded gate in the new pasture. Simon and Fanny hopped over and started grazing. Zelda led the sheep right across and jumped the water, which was amazing (I got it on video – later). But Lulu was stymied, she ran back and forth across the fence line looking for a way in, Simon and Fanny both brayed to her, and when they saw she wouldn’t come in, they both ran back across the water and to the pole barn. We’ll try again later this morning. Video to come. Their loyalty to one another is powerful and poignant.
