Busy times ...

Once again, I lost track of time! There is always so much to do and so little time too!

Our long waited Shetland Lambs finally arrived. The first little lamb was born on Bank holiday Monday, 25th of June out of Bonnie. It was an easy birth, well, to be honest, it came too sudden and without any warning. Bonnie is first time mum and she did that all by herself and perfectly.

The second lamb came three days later. Oh yes, I do noticed that they are not like puppies, they don't come all at once! Of course, they are from different mothers too :)
This is Pearl's little ewe lamb. She has some striking marking too. What amazed me is how strong these little lambs are. They are only hour old in these pictures.

Two days after Pearl had her lamb, Lupin's twin were born. She has a little ram lamb and little ewe lamb. The spottie one is the little girl who I named Dottie :) She just reminded me of the Dalmatians :) I decided to call her brother Pongo. Pongo is very protective over her sister. It is lovely to watch when you have a set of twin. The interaction between two little lambs amused me.

Lucy is the last mother to have her lamb, She has a little ram lamb looked just like her. She has a badger face and I have always fancy something different. Lucy is a bit hand shy so make it difficult to handle but she is a very good mum, very protective over her baby. 


We have mated five of the shetland ewes but sadly Pansy didn't take but I am very happy to have these 5 lambs. They are strong and healthy lambs.

These lambs are three weeks old now. They are ready to go out and explore. They go out during the day with their mum grazing and they like to play in my agility paddock. They love to dash in and out of the tunnel. Such fun to watch. These babies are so funny, they are like teenager go out partying. When they run in and out of the tunnel, mother Lucy is so worried as she can't figure out why they go in one way and come out the other way. I stood there watching and laughing out loud!

Little Mea is our first born lamb. She adores Sonic and she thinks she is a sheltie too. I love this little one so much.
