Omg, wee Sparky running all over the place after that first devastating scene on the hill. I have no words. Thank you so much for bringing him back to life, Rachel. What a magical wee being he is.

Thank you so very much, Meg, Sparky really has been such a fighter and we all love him here! 🐑❤

What a wonderful episode, interview and postcard that I’ll be watching again. Susan’s passion and curiosity is so inspiring! I even paused the episode to order a Burlinn Yarn jumper kit after listening to your enthusiasm. Love the multi-species support to help Sparky thrive. Hard to tell who’s the dog and who’s the sheep 😂 Rachel, you’re awesome!

What a wonderful interview! I’m so glad Susan talked about the Great Scottish Tapestry. I had the great fortune of seeing it last September when I was in Scotland- a must see if you are ever in Scotland. And what can I say about Rachel and Sparky? I think that is the cutest lamb I have ever seen. Rachel takes such good care of her animals.

Lovely conversation. I think it's great that she and you (Corrine) are supporting Scotland shepards in different avenues. Rachel, you always do a great job with the postcards. Lamb zoomies are just the best!! They can take a hard day and give you a smile! 😊 makes me want to collect the journals for the writings, and of course Barkland Croft!!😘

@kathleenallan321 Ай бұрын

Hi Rachel! Watching this postcard, I have a question. Would Sparky's mum recognize him now? Thanks.

@barklandcroft3416 Ай бұрын

Hi Kathleen, that's a great question! I think it would be unlikely, purely because they had very little time to bond when he was first born and so much time has since passed. I've had a couple of occasions over the years where one of my own ewes has had twins but has rejected one of the twins so I've hand-reared it, but because they've been kept in the same area the lamb has still grown up around her and so they've maintained a kind of bond. But generally, if they're separated, it's unlikely they would recognise each other after so many weeks passing 🐑🐑
