Henry's new house. by happypat

Henry's new house.

We took pity on Henry this last couple of weeks while the wind & rain have been coming down. Every time we went out in the car & passed him standing with his back to the wind we felt bad so Harry took a trip to the local fencing man & ordered this new house. He had a shelter before that Brian had made when he was over from NZ on holiday but the draughts still got up the back & it was facing North so caught all the cold winds.

As soon as this one came on Tuesday, Harry put some bedding in & his feed & hay he was in like a shot & has slept in there every night since !!

One spoilt sheep !!!!
Poor Henry! I'm glad he has a proper shelter now! He looks like he's enjoying a bit of sunlight.

One proud (and cosy!) sheep! His new home looks very well appointed! Hope it has a view!

Bless his beautiful heart! It's a great shelter for Henry and he looks like he's taken ownership and is enjoying it immensely. Love the photo. :)

@jimmyveee Have no idea James but probably a Suffolk dad ! He was born in an abattoir...... a long story !

Great to see a well looked after sheep, they have a hard time through the winter. Well done!

Lucky Henry! It will be quite a sun trap on sunny days too from the look of things!

Nice shot and doesn't Henry look pleased!
January 22nd, 2012  
Oh bless him - he looks really proud of it! And this N Westerly wind is an absolute killer at the moment. How long do sheep live Pat - is Henry getting on or still in his prime?
January 22nd, 2012  
Oh he looks so at home in his new shelter! It looks nice and sunny there too.
January 22nd, 2012  
Well I'm sure he is very appreciative.

Pat, Henry really looks at home here, it's a great little den for him :)

@judithg He is 9 this year Judith & I have no idea how long they live as usually get killed for their meat so I suppose he could live for years !

Ah but I bet your Henry's favourite friends in the whole wide world!! Great shot - and why not build him a house - it's bloomin cold at the moment!
