Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

Talk About CUTE...
Zodiak's twin ewe lambs:
"Bluff Country Daisy"
and her twin sister:
"Bluff Country Clover"
When I went out to take pictures of Zodiak and her little dolls this afternoon, I found Angel in labor!
I had SOOOOO much fun watching not one, but TWO different births! Personally, I think it was my last handful of animal crackers and the magical rubbing that I gave her that made Angel deliver! ;-) LOL! I was just thrilled that she finally decided that I wasn't a threat, and even let me clear the baby's mouth while she went to work on the rest of him!
Congrats! They are all so cute--little Daisy is a real sparkler! I assume Angel's are both white? Lucky Katie, to be there and get to see the birth! Looks like Godiva is the holdout-maybe she was bred a little later than the others. See your e-mail.
Daisy is adorable! But I'm feeling bad for her sister, who hasn't gotten much fan-fare, so I automatically love clover more. She looks timid and sweet too! It sounds like you've been crazy busy, at least there will be lots of entertaining lambs for the reunion party :)
Clover IS a sweetie! Very cuddly and lovey. She is second on my list of most loved lambs this spring, falling only behind Duchess by the slimmest of margins. She is definitely on the "kidnap" list, along with Duchess and Dixie! Your mom is gonna need to start checking my car. LOL!
You don't have to worry about Clover being overshadowed by her sister, Katie. Clover is every BIT as adorable as Daisy is ~ I just didn't get as good of a picture of her. I'll put some new ones on, as soon as I get the chance, and you'll see just what I mean...
Gail ~ I've never lambed this late before. Then again, I hadn't really PLANNED on lambing at all. :-) I'm enjoying the girls lambing outside. No mess in the barn and SO much cleaner for the new lambs!

Oh my gosh, lambing so late. Well, we miss it already, so it will be fun to see what comes out at your "farm".
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteCongrats! They are all so cute--little Daisy is a real sparkler! I assume Angel's are both white? Lucky Katie, to be there and get to see the birth! Looks like Godiva is the holdout-maybe she was bred a little later than the others. See your e-mail.
