Oh yes, they are very cute. In my family we used to go look at the newborn lambs in season sometimes, before Easter when they are traditionally eaten here. I mean, we had to make a trip a bit outside the city limits to go see them, but spring is quite nice there because the farming is mostly fruit trees with pretty blooms. And it is one of the nearest vaguely nature thing you can easily get to.
There are sheep in some of the real inner city too, mostly around the harbor and in the neighborhoods near the river in general where they maintain the dykes, but it's just not very bucolic, what with being just a mix of residential and industrial areas, and not that many sheep either, mostly just what you need for the dykes.
