@greatandholypangolin you cannot leave this in the tags
[Image ID: Tumblr tags from greatAndHolyPangolin reading: this except often during lambing season you do get sheep fighting back when the dogs are too pushy, either mama sheep going Don't speak to me or my son ever Again, and giving the dog a solid headbutt, Or, In rare cases, a lamb will try to nip a dog and will find out that it works at deterring them and will lose all respect for the concept of sheepdogs, at that point we need to keep an eye on the lamb because if it continues to not have consequences it will become rogue and unherdable, in my family they're affectionately referred to as Sweetheart Darling Bastards (which I recently found out it a poem reference? Wow) /End ID]
