What? A house LAMB!





Precious follows me everywhere. She came up the stairs into the kitchen as I made her bottle. She helped me garden today by nibbling on every weed after I pulled it. The big boy lambs are too rough with her so I don't leave her unattended in the field with them. Needless to say she's becoming very spoiled. She doesn't show fear of anything and is getting much sturdier on her long legs. I think I've become the ol' ewe past co-workers thought I was....

"She" needs a name







Our first little ewe lamb this season was shivering so I put one of Libby's coat on her. Her face is so soft and cute. Her legs are long and still a little wobbly. After she has her bottle she falls asleep sometimes before the bottle is even empty. When Tasha dropped her off this morning she was so hungry she was sucking on anything near her mouth even my chin. She has taken to the bottle well so we'll hope she gets stronger fast. Now for that name....

Betty is our sheep dog

She's out for a walk with Whitey. In past pictures of the lambs you may have noticed two of them were very tiny. One went back to the farm the same day they all arrived due to being so weak, it didn't survive. The other little one died during the night this week. They both were born too early and may have had unknown health issues. The remaining three are doing great. More pictures to come when we get the sunny weather the weatherman is promising!
