We're very fortunate that you share so much with us. I realise you hoped the visitors for Trigger would love him as you do, but I agree with the others who have commented, he needs you to be " on his side" when life gets too scary. He is beautiful. That liver chestnut colour is so rich.

At that moment you go, "oh, huge"! Loved the photo of the sheep with the black face.<br /><br />Maybe one day the perfect situation for Trigger will come along.
