I once handreared a lamb. Feeding every 2 hours in the beginning was exhausting, but once she ate all by herself it was so much fun. She used to accompany me on walks – people puzzled over the strange breed of dog… 😀
It’s a lovely picture that perfectly captures the joy of youth!
I would have thought one can’t mistake a lamb for a dog, but after googling fox terrier pictures I kind of see your point. It happened often enough to wonder, so this might be an explanation. 😉
The sheep know the difference 😉 …I used to live on a farm and even though my dog didn’t bother the sheep at all…the sheep used to intimidate my dog by approaching her and stamping their feet… 😕

How did you get a shot of the mother and lambs running towards you? They always seem to look horrified and run the other way when they see me coming!
I’m not quite sure…I sat on the other side of the gate…the mother was tied to a rope so she couldn’t get any closer…
As you can see the lamb on the right remained behind the mother while the other lamb charged at me…by the time I was ready to take the next frame I had a lamb nose in my lens! 😉
Cute!
