This was the path out to the barn this evening - It was raining like crazy when I got home from work at about 6:30 or so - No Shepherd to be found in the house, so I called his cell phone - he was out in the green house planting starts for our garden this year - "Are you ready for dinner?" I asked - "Probably not for a while -Donna's in labor" -
About 15 minutes later, he came in for the vet's phone number - she was presenting one leg and a nose, but the other leg was no where to be found... Called the vet, left a message for a call back. - But by the time he got back out to the barn, ta da - the little guy had popped out on his own.
Well, little is a relative term here - Little Ole from last week only weighed about 4 lbs - he still probably only weighs about 5 lbs. - Tonight's lamb - 6 lbs, 3 oz.! He is bigger than Frosty & Sandy and they are almost two weeks old!
I want to call him Makks. I don't know what The Shepherd will decide.
He is less than an hour old in these photos - he is jet black -not a white hair to be found on his body.
Now what do we do?
Here's a little movie of his first dinner.
