LAAAAMBS!!! (That's not getting old is it? NAH.)
These are the last lambs of the season, two girls born to Bonnie. Bonnie was moping around all day yesterday, looking like she was going to give birth from the morning on, but still no lambs when we went to bed. By the time we got up, however, there they were, stumbling around. A. did have to assist a bit in this one, just because the milk plugs in her teats, that the lambs usually pull out when they start nursing, were being stubborn and the lambs hadn't been able to nurse yet. He had to milk her pretty hard until the milk started coming. But now all is well in the sheep's world. The grass is getting green, the sun is shining, all the lambs have been safely delivered, and the shepherd delivers a daily ration of feed. What more could a sheep want?
So, in sum, we have had five lambs (three girls and two boys) and six puppies.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Could you? I mean, really. LOOK AT THOSE FACES.
The garden has been started, the flowers are blooming, the snow has melted. I think it's spring.

So glad its started to warm up !I love the photos,the pups have such pretty faces !A friend of mine had 2 pet lambs,she named one Rosemary and the other Casserole !Do you name the ones that will end up in a pot??
Just totally LOVE the photos. . .
My eyes! I am blinded by the cuteness! Seriously, if any more baby animals are born on your property, I'm moving in.
Milk plugs? OWIE! Thank god I never had such a thing. Though I did have one little baby that just couldn't suck well and had to be trained (well I had to be trained) by a nurse. Nature is imperfect sometimes, yes?
Love the puppy faces. Man it almost makes me want to get another one!
Will you bottle some puppy breath and send it my way? I'll take a lamb, too.
You guys actually have a true Spring is Here checklist all represented.
I assume the birds are also chirping and everything's starting to grow. Congrats on surviving another winter.
Such cuties (much cuter than the new members of the Chiot's Run family).
I love that the puppies are 3 & 3. Do you have takers for them yet?
That fence picture is so. darn. cute.
The little lambs look like they are wearing black boots. How adorable!
OMG those puppies are CUTE!!!
Seriously, I may faint from all the cuteness! I love the color of those lambs :)
I love how the yeller pups and the black pups stick together, lol. They seem like opposing sports teams in that pic.
If the sport was being freakin' adorable, that is. I think the imploring puppy-feet-on-the-fence pose wins a point for the Blacks! :)
holy crap those pupppies are getting huge!
