Hug A Sheep Day 2011

The second annual National Hug A Sheep Day  is this Saturday.
I've been worrying about how I'm going to participate.
My sheep aren't exactly the hugging kind.
They usually look at me with suspicion,

and then run away.

So I thought I'd figure out some other options.

I tried to see if I could work in another Hug A Skid Day,

But it didn't quite have the same ring to it.

Hug A Poe day?

Umm, no.
He's no easier to hug than a sheep. 
Harder in fact.

Hug A Chicken (or two) Day?

That wasn't quite right either.

I thought I was on to something with Hug A Guardian Dog Day. 
I really enjoyed that one.

But still.  It didn't quite fit.

So back to the basics, I hugged a sheep.

and shocked the whole flock.

OH, My Goodness!  What is she doing to Mabel? 

As for the young ewe that got hugged,

 I think she quite liked it!
