This year got even more chaotic when a phone call from a friend brought a little lamb into our lives. Every so often (actually it happens more often than I want to think about) there are animals born that will not make it with out our help. Sometimes the mothers reject them and sometimes they are just small and weak.
I know I know....some people are think that that is just nature and only the strong survive and that's the way it should be
Now say that to this face.......
This is Lamby, he was born on a sheep farm not too far from our place. His mother gave birth to two healthy strong lambs.......and my little Lamby. Since an ewe only has two teats it would be very hard for this little guy to ever get any feeding time. Now ....I understand that a sheep farmer can not bottle feed every single lamb that needs it. I mean he would never get anything done!
However, I will always try......I mean look at that face!
So when I got that call...."Shannon would you like to bottle feed a lamb?" I didn't hesitate.
Hes tiny and still doesn't quite get the concept of nursing but he has my heart already. ...
and yes ill admit im getting nothing done. Who wouldn't want to just snuggle him all day?
He is with me all day long, if not in his laundry basket he's at my feet or in my arms. I love him.
Spring is already a very busy time on any farm, but I bet I can speak for all farmers when I say I wouldn't have it any other way.
So how do I know when its spring? When there is a kiddie pool full of chicks in my dinning room and a baby lamb following me all over the house.
