My other girls are doing their best to fill the void in my heart left by saying good-bye to 15 of my best friends.
I have to admit ~ they're pretty good 'medicine'!
"Don't worry, we've got everything under control..."
Is this not the most adorable chicken face you've ever seen?
I think she looks like a hawk!
She's an itty-bitty thing though! Born Easter weekend. 
After a shaky start, Star and Opera have become friends.
This is Elvira. I love her long, black "hair".
Yes, the girls use my sheep 'fitting stand' as a roost.
They LIKE it!
"I wasn't too sure at first, but I guess they can stay!"
"We'll see about that!"
No group of juvenile Shetlands is going to outsmart ME!
It didn't take me long to get all five girls back into the re-reinforced paddock this morning.
Those babies are going to have to FLY if they want to get out of there!
It's much quieter this time than it was yesterday. Perhaps they won't even TRY??
My beautiful "Cricket" (one of my very favorite ewe lambs!)
"Shaela" ~ what a beauty!
"Are you thinking that perhaps Mom is keeping herself incredibly busy so she doesn't have time to think about everyone who's leaving on Friday???"
..."Then I'm not telling!"
FLASH DANCE says:
"They were GOOD!"
"Don't get pushy, kid..."
