Scary sheep

The sheep at the sanctuary were actually pretty friendly, but I guess it wouldn’t seem that way if they are bigger than you are.

*****

The Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is a 400-acre nonprofit refuge in Poolesville, Maryland, that offers care, rehabilitation and permanent sanctuary for neglected, abused or abandoned farm animals as well as providing a protected habitat for wildlife. They promote compassion and the humane treatment of all animals by educating the public on farm animal and wildlife issues.

A husband and wife team along with 100 volunteers and 8 staff care for more than 300 rescued farm animals, each with a name and a story of their rescue, and most of them quite friendly to humans. They’ve been in operation for 21 years, receive no public funding and survive only on donations.

For more information on the refuge, go to http://www.animalsanctuary.org

You never know how kids are going to react. Everyday, a new adventure. Hope it ended as a teachable moment, and not a lifelong phobia - LOL. Great catch here. V

Poor kid. Mom should have held her so that she could get used to them.

That's true! :) I can remember how geese scared me when I was little. They chased my sister and me.
