Lamb update...

sooooooo… Alice is continuing to do a great job… the bigger boy & the girl are feeding well. She definitely has favored the largest lamb.
The little guy is not getting a look in & I’ve been bottle feeding him ~ he’s so happy to see me :)
I was really worried they were getting cold so I asked on Facebook if anyone had any dog coats ~ check out how stinking cute they look!! I could play dress up all day!
My friend Gus texted me & I said I was in my ‘she’-ep shed! ~ see what I did there!? & he answered Bah ha ha!! we really ought to be doing stand up… Gus comes over with all nice clean clothes ~ I handed him tiny guy who promptly did a sticky, stinky mustard poo all over his jeans 🙄🤢🤣… I’ve been covered in the stuff for the last few days so I didn’t feel that bad…
At a later feeding Alice was really antsy, I think she’d had enough of being chewed on constantly… she kept pushing little guy away.
I left her out in the field ~ 2 lambs could keep up, but little guy couldn’t & when he did eventually catch up she pushed him away… He kept getting stuck on really small twigs. Mike brought him in ~ he’d seen enough,
He’s gained a lb!! Now weighing in at 4lbs!
We have names ~ the biggest is Bowie, the girl is Dolly & tiny guy is Ziggy Stardust.
