Life is just a whirl wind! Sharing with you is just one more thing to do. But I had to share this:
Last Saturday night my Finn ewe, Julia, had triplets. Very tiny, all of them, but the girl the smallest. She was so cold that I thought I would lose her. As I was so tired, I carried her up stairs and cuddled her in a towel and a blanket and sat by the heater. At last she warmed up and I made her swallow small squirts of warmed milk. By 2AM I thought that if I didn’t get some sleep I would be a basket case, so I put her in a box on my night stand next to the radiator. And as you see she survived!
She is now a house lamb. She thinks Brook is her mother. She is still very small but running around and entertaining us with her antics.
She follows me everywhere!
How on earth will I convince her she really is a sheep?
I say today while those boys are lounging around with their pockets being banded just chuck her outside. That way the boys won’t feel like head butting her and she may finally come to the brutal realization that she is not a dog but a sheep. Life can be terribly disappointing sometimes.
