My answers:
1: Have you touched a live sheep? Yes, when they are welcoming they are fun to pet.
If so: What to you think of the lanolin smell? It makes my nose itch.
2: If you had time and space, would you keep sheep? I don't think I should be responsible for keeping anything alive.
3: Are there fields of sheep near where you live? There is a flock in the historic farm at Mt Vernon about 8 miles away, not many others in this urban jungle.
4: Do you have a stuffed (artificial) sheep in the house? Several
5: Do you wear wool clothing? When I can.
Your answers in the comments please.
1. I've touched live sheep on several occasions. Does lanolin smell like sheep poop? If not, I never noticed the smell.
ReplyDelete2. No. I prefer goats.
3. Yep. Sheep, cows and horses.
4. Bella, my bichonpoo, looks like a sheep when her hair grows. Does that count?
5. I have two or three wool blazers that come in handy.
Bella certainly counts, how cute.
DeleteNo to everything but I do know what lanolin smells like. It stinks.
ReplyDeleteI agree
Delete1-4: no
ReplyDelete5: 100% wool - no; I am allergic to lanolin. I can wear 100% superwash wool items that I knit myself (superwash is where the lanolin has been stripped away). I am grateful for the sheep who give up their wool to be spun into yarn for clothing.
this comes to mind: (safe for work)

You are not alone, my colleague Lori has the same allergy.
Delete1: Have you touched a live sheep? Yes! Most Friday's lately I stop at the market where they have sheep and goats, and I feed them. They are all so cute.
ReplyDeleteIf so: What to you think of the lanolin smell? Nope doesn't bother me.
2: If you had time and space, would you keep sheep? Hell yes!
3: Are there fields of sheep near where you live? Several up the road.
4: Do you have a stuffed (artificial) sheep in the house? Nope.
5: Do you wear wool clothing? I have several wool sweaters.
Another reason to love your hometown, sheep nearby.
Delete1. Yes, but it was some time ago.
ReplyDelete2. I can't remember the smell of lanolin. I do remember the smell of sheep.
3. We are a long way from any sheep.
4. No stuffed sheep or otherwise.
5. Just one pair of black pants worn for weddings, parties, anything.
1: Willingly?
ReplyDelete2: Im a goat man.
3: no
4: no
5: I live in AZ wool is no good.
There are a few cool mornings in every winter.
Delete1: Have you touched a live sheep? Yes.
ReplyDeleteIf so: What to you think of the lanolin smell? Made my nose itch, too!
2: If you had time and space, would you keep sheep? No.
3: Are there fields of sheep near where you live? Not that I'm aware of. I think there are close to 20 million sheep in Spain but they're mostly in Central Spain.
4: Do you have a stuffed (artificial) sheep in the house? No. And never had. We have a cousin who, like you, collects sheep. So anytime we saw one we liked, it went to her.
5: Do you wear wool clothing? I do, but a lot less than when I lived in the Northeastern US!
They can be soft
