I think I've told the story about how all the girl bottle lambs move out of the house and out to the barn and immediately forget they ever loved and needed you more than anything in the world. The boys? They never completely grow up.
I've tried to tell myself that I just raise strong girls who are ready for the real world and hit the ground running. I do think that's a fair assessment, but I raise the boys the same though and I am having to stand next to Biscuit while he eats now (without the creep feeder) so he feels confident and stays focused ;-).
I peeked around the corner of the barn at lunchtime and saw Biscuit and Mrs. Pepperpot side by side and assumed Muffin was just a little further around the corner...
...or halfway done the barn (!). That's her next to Bullwinkle at the end of the blue gate, sassily chewing cud with her back to her long suffering momma.
Poor Mrs. Pepperpot. At least she still has Biscuit. Those boys won't let you down ;-).
