Re: [blackbelly] Just Musing

[Carol J. Elkins]

Barb, it is always so uplifting to read your musings. You paint pictures 
with words. I am delighted that you are so happy with your sheep. I can't 
wait to read what you have to say in March and April when you step outside 
one crisp morning and notice that there are more legs under the bodies of 
your ewes than the four that came as their original equipment. It is always 
a thrill for me when I step around and get my first glimpse of that new 
lamb. And when I remember that the lamb is seeing a human being for the 
first time, I want to make sure that his first impression of me is a good one.

So what do I do? I grab the little bugger and wrap a sling around his 
middle and hang him from a scale to get his weight. Then I pry his jaw open 
a little and squirt some Nutridrench in his mouth. And then a day later I 
pierce his little ear with a brass eartag.

I know I have made a lasting impression on him by this time.
Carol

Today I released from quarantine, the newest members of my tiny American
Blackbelly flock - two beautiful young ewes and their lambs.  I feel so
fortunate to have them.
