I think I've talked about "Easy Breezy" on the blog, but in case I haven't, it's the bigger version of Del Boca Vista, utilizing the end of the outside stall and the level paddock next to the barn. DBV is perfect for a couple sheep, but when the population as a whole starts getting older, more and more sheep needed to move into "assisted living" this fall.
Silly Lila, one of my very favorite bottle lambs from quite a few years ago. She's not exceptionally old, but she has some arthritis issues that make it hard for her to keep up with the younger sheep.
Popcorn PeePee Pants. Her birthday is in January, but I don't remember the exact day. I'd look it up on the blog...but she's older than the blog! She will be 14 next month.
PPPP is the lamb on the bookmarks we hand out in the festival booths :-). She makes a nice puzzle, too ;-).
Renny the invincible. She's not old and definitely not skinny, but she's starting to have trouble with her horribly damaged back legs and can't negotiate the hills on the other side of the barn any longer. She's loving the Easy Breezy life ;-D.
Billy Belly and Heidi. Heidi is another of the old girls. She'll be 13 this spring. Billy Belly is only 12, but he was a bit thin heading into fall so I moved him into EB so he could get some extra food. He's also loving the EB life ;-D.
Ewen McTeagle, Woolliam and Allie do still come out and graze at least a little bit. Ewen can usually be talked into grazing in the yard for a few minutes after breakfast if I stand out there with him. Allie likes to go out in the afternoons and Woolliam does a bit, but he's also quite happy to hang out indoors and eat hay and wait for the next Bingo game ;-).
