not sure if this is useful to anyone. I primarily made this for Yosemite, the regular SheepShaver Icon simply looked to pixelated and out of place when I put it next to the other Dock Icons. So I really wanted a Icon that fits nicely into the lot, but many web searches went by and I simply didn't find one that met my needs, so I figured, if I wanted one I probably had to do one myself. One evening later and it was finished. Now, I'm not a Icon Designer at all and this was primarily meant for personal use, but I thought that others might find it useful as well so I decided to share it, again, it was mainly for personal use so it's probably not the most well planned out Icon ever made.
But, I hope you guys like it and maybe have some use for it perhaps.
We had an entire thread on designing a new icon on here... didn't come to an agreement, but I like yours -- even if it's an unshaved sheep instead of a sheep shaver :D
But then, I just use images of the OS CD I installed from for my icons now. That way there's no ambiguity as to what I'm launching.
Shaving takes the winter wool off the sheep so that it is light on its feet for the summer. Dipping on the other hand involves submerging the sheep in a noxious substance to kill off any parasites. Videos on both are available on youtube

Well... both, really. Domestic sheep don't shed their wool the way wild sheep would, so if you don't shear them, they end up looking like this:
I dunno, I'm not a sheep, but that can't be comfortable.
There's no earthly way of knowing, which direction we are going, for the rowers keep on rowing, and they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing.
Hmmm . . . I wonder. Shearing sheep is a human thing. So it makes me wonder how wild sheep fare when there is no human intervention in their lives. I mean, do they just grin it and bear it. Does there come a point in time when they just naturally shed all of that excess weight and fleece?

The only sheep that have this problem are ones that have been bred to provide humans with wool -- the ones we shear
Yep, wild sheep shed their wool every so often to avoid looking like Shrek up there. Domesticated varieties don't need that particular feature, so they've presumably lost it over the centuries.
