Wordless Wednesday...

Feeding Time at the Zoo...

Since I don't suppliment any of my lambs, I give ewes with Triplets a little "lamb creep feed" every day.  I figure it's got to be pretty nutritious and the lambs always "help" eat it.

 If you click to enlarge this photo, check out the fleece on the cheeks and poll of Duchess!

Her fleece is incredibly soft as well.

Alice, Duke, Duchess and Princess stand at the gate, calling for me every day to remind me to bring them their food.  It gets a little competitive at the trough/er ~ feed bowl.

Of course, Alice isn't the only ewe with Triplets.

Destiny and her gang also come in  for their creep feed.

I need to get another big pan! 

Look how tiny "Kiss" is compared to her brothers! 

And how dark her moorit fleece is!  She may actually be a dark brown...

After lunch, Alice and Destiny take their babes back out to the main pasture.

(look at the tails on those lambs!)

When I open the gate to let Alice & Destiny out,  poor Chance always rushes in looking for anything that was missed. 

I'm afraid it's pretty Slim Pickins'

That's OK.   Chance doesn't look like she really needs any extra feed!

Now, Charm (Bluff Country Lucky Charm) is another story:

She'll kick and drag that dish all over the paddock, looking for food!

Poor baby...

Fortunately, Charm and her beautiful sister, Serendipity, seem to be growing just fine.

DREAM says...

"Mom doesn't think we've seen the last of the triplets for this year!   Stay tuned to see if she's right.  It won't be much longer..."

That Face...

Just LOOK at that face!

That is our lovely first lamb of 2010

"Bluff Country Dixie Cup"

Dazzle's little bundle of joy is growing up!

And she's quite the beauty!

She's also been quite the little snob/somewhat reserved.

This past weekend is the first that she's actually come up and let me touch her.

But we're making progress.

;-)

The jungle/pasture has gotten a bit long while I've been sick.

If it ever stops raining, I'll mow it!

I could lose a lamb in there!

Dixie and all the lambs will be for sale. 

How can I part with that face?

Just For Fun...

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

Golden Retriever: 

 "The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?"

Border Collie: 

 "Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code."

Dachshund: 

 "You know I can't reach that dumb stupid lamp!"

Rottweiler:  

 "Make me."

Lab:  

 "Oh, me, me!!!!

Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb!

 Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?"

Malamute: 

"Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy."

Jack Russell Terrier:

"I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture."

Poodle: 

"I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.

 By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry."

Cocker Spaniel: 

 "Why change it?

I can still pee on the carpet in the dark."

Doberman Pinscher: 

 "While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch."

Boxer: 

 "Who cares?

 I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark......"

Mastiff: 

"Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark."

Chihuahua:

 "Yo quiero Taco Bulb".

"We don't need no stupid lightbulb."

Irish Wolfhound: 

 "Can somebody else do it? I've got this hangover....."

Pointer: 

"I see it,

there it is,

there it is, right there...."

Greyhound:

  "It isn't moving. Who cares?"


Australian Shepherd: 

 "First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...."

Old English Sheep Dog:

"Light bulb? "

 "I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb?"

German Shepard: 

"Alright, everyone stop where you are! Who busted the light?

I SAID, STOP WHERE YOU ARE!!!"

Hound Dog: 

 "ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz"

  I found the verse on Google but it didn't have any photos with it.

I'm not feeling well today so am staying indoors, instead of working outside like I should be.  You wouldn't believe how many hours I just spent going though "Google Images" of all the different breeds to try to find just the right picture to go with each saying. 

I think it turned out rather nicely even if I DO say so myself...
