Meet The Blue Bunny's own Mascot...

The Sheep!

And view his photo album below!


Many people ask us why we have a sheep for a mascot at the Blue Bunny and, well, there's no reason other than our furry friend wanted a little fresh air one day and soon after became a fixture in Dedham Square.

Through 4 seasons of New England weather, Sheep has greeted many folks in Dedham. People walk by and pet him, people want their pictures taken with him, and he loves to dress up for special events and appropriately for each season. There are the occasional upset or confused dog greetings, but for the most part life is good. This past year, Sheep got to ride in a red wagon in the Flag Day parade along with the Bunny Mobile (which sports ears and a tail during special events).

Some people mistake him for a goat and a few other animals, but he tells us he is a sheep. He doesn't mind the attention, in fact, for the first time he's more popular than the black pony who is usually the attention getter. Most Blue Bunny visitors don't consider their visit complete till they pet Sheep on the way out. We think it's his spunky nature that shines through which makes him a good friend to those who take the time to wave at him and pet him when they go by 593 High Street. Come on by and say hi sometime, Sheep would love to meet you.

Sheep's photo album...

Sheep was excited to put on his red rubber boots and bunny ears for this his debut and first ever Blue Bunny Special Event - the Stink book launch party! Here you see Sheep mugging for the camera with Blue Bunny co-owner, Paul Reynolds. Can you tell who is who?

Sheep has a lot of friends! Here are a couple who dropped by to say hello. He loves making new friends too, so please stop in any time!

   

Safety is always first and foremost for Sheep -
as you see him showing a friend how to properly wear a helmet while skateboarding. That's our Sheep - always looking out for others! (Oh look! That's author/illustrator (and Blue Bunny co-owner) Peter H. Reynolds signing books in the background!).

Ah, patriotism isn't lost on Sheep - here you see him all decked out in red, white and blue as he leads the way for the "Bunny Mobile" in the annual Dedham Flag Day Parade.
 

Well, you certainly didn't think Sheep was a muggle sheep, did you? No, not OUR Sheep - at least not on Harry Potter Day! Here Sheep is all dressed up like Harry Potter himself, in his finest wizard wear - eagerly waiting for the party to begin!
