For the Love of Sheep

By their fluffy body and silky hairs, most of the people fall in love with them and keep the flock of sheep at their farms. When it comes to me, I myself own a big farm having a flock of sheep, goats, and horses. 

I watch the little lambs playing around in their space and look at them; how adorable they are, how playful they are, how gentle they are, and how sweet they look while jumping around their mama. 

Once I was going to extend my all focus on the horses, but their so much adorable qualities never allows me to move away from them. They have a big space in my heart.

Some of the animals get a special place in your heart and every time you visit the farm. They get back to you very charmingly and you want to call them by a name. 

That’s how naming the loved ones, even animals, become a necessary part of life to show them affection and love.
