Gracie Mae, our diva sheep

   A hero has many attributes and meanings. They is an endless variety but perhaps it boils down to helping people feel good.  My hero comes in a funny looking package, 4 black legs, a long fuzzy tail, thick grey wool and the cutest face a sheep ever had.  She is Gracie Mae, the "mother sheep" on my farm.                                                               Like all hero's, she had a tough life but overcame her difficult start.  Her mother rejected her when she was born and so she had to be bottle fed by humans.  This has made her the most friendliest and lovable of sheep.  Yes, sheep can be heart- warmingly friendly and so she is.  Graciously she greets our visitors at the farm and lives up to her name.  She adores children, nuzzling them and asking for affection.  If she feels she is being ignored, she will paw the ground and lean into the visitors with her large 120 pound body.                                                                                                      Everyone adores her and she brings out the best in people.  Their faces relax, worries disappear, and smiles remain. All our visitors then leave my alpaca farm wanting to buy a sheep!
