I rejected several titles for this post...

Like:
Sheep Groping, for Fun and Profit
and
Copping a Feel, Wooly-style
and
Udder Nonsense

Actually, that last one would have worked, without drawing a lot of really weird internet searches.  (Or searchers.)

Anyway, I finally got a chance to grope Onyx while she was eating this morning.  (She is very single-minded about her eating, once she gets rolling.)  There's definite swelling in the udder - 'making bag' is the technical term - so we could be looking for lamb anytime between now and two weeks from now.  (It's not a scientific process.  And every ewe is different.)

Still can't get close enough to Goldie, though.  Every time I sidle up to her, she gives me a Look and shuffles around to face me, so I can't get up to no good. 
But since Orion managed to nail Miss Onyx, I'm pretty sure he got Goldie, too...

So, all you folks who guessed April dates, get ready!
