I sent a couple friends an iPhone photo of this lamb sleeping with his mouth all smushed up on his foot and they both came back with the exact same comment, so Kissy Lips it is :-D.
I spent much of yesterday helping Kathy with 19 new lambs. While I hope I never have to help with a difficult birth, I'm a pretty good lamb and ewe watcher, a very good naval dipper and good for grunt labor like toting water buckets, hay, fresh bedding... I of course used any lulls in the action to take pictures :-).
And I almost brought this little tinkerbell home. She was the smallest of a set of quads (!) and kept getting pushed out of the way by all her bigger brothers and sisters, but by the end of the day she was perking right along. Kathy tube fed her a few times to make sure she was getting enough to eat and I carried her around when she was cold (tough job ;-). I can't imagine she was much bigger than Maisie was!
Here she's sleeping snuggled up with one of her brothers. So sweet.
The whole fam-damily :-).
This next picture...I just love. While there's nothing any cuter than a sleeping lamb, this momma is sure giving it a run for the money. Let's peek in on her.
Those good mommas.
