I am a grandma and live in downtown Chicago. We frequently have our grandchildren visit, and I am thinking that it would be so darling to get them a couple of these little sheeps for pets. That baby Orley looks pretty cute, for one. I have a couple of questions for you. Would you be able to send them commercial air? I know that the airlines fly dogs in the cargo section. Are they small enough to fit in a cat carrier? If so, I could maybe fly out and bring them back under the seat. Do you think I should get a boy and girl, so maybe we could start our own flock? Our floors are wooden, and so I wonder if you could recommend any hoof covers because I don't want them to ruin the floors. I thought that we could take them into the park to eat some grass. Do they like lettuce and carrots for times when we can't get them to the park? Also, is is possible to train them to go in a box? If not, that is no problem, because we can just set aside one room in the condo for them. I am so excited about this. I can just see my little darlings playing with these new little sheeps. None of their friends will have such unique pets. Oh, one more thing. I want to teach the "grands" responsibility, so wonder if you know about special leashes for sheeps. It is kind of hard to get this information in downtown Chicago. Also, do you know any vets in this area who would be good to contact for well pet care? Sorry to ask so many questions, and hope things are going well out at your wonderful farm. Once you get me the information, we can talk about price, but this part does not concern me to much. Thanks for all the help. Patti Dear Shepherds: I am just fascinated reading about your teeney tiny little sheeps. I am a grandma and live in downtown Chicago.
