... barn stories: flow & flo

Flo is a dear dear friend. We started sharing life when she was two years old and full of spit and vinegar.  At nine she is a wise old friend who watches over me. When I am having trouble getting the sheep in and the boarder collies are not around I will ask her for help, I say "bring the sheep in" and off she goes coming back with them all running before her!

What I love is that with time we are comfortable with each other,  always remembering she is a flight animal and that a sound or the activity around us can affect her actions.

Yet there are moments when she will rest her muzzle in my hand with the full weight of her head and just look at me....  you can feel and see it in her eyes... love, gratitude, happiness... between both her and I.

Hoping with the holiday season upon us that you find love, gratitude and happiness where you are,  with both four legged friends and two... remembering just a look, a pat or a smile can be the most wondrous gift of all....

Happy Holidays to all with much gratitude for everyone who has shared Barn Stories with us at Bryn Du Farm... ... four legged and two
