Life Goes On

Winter drags on with gray skies and cold rain. Life in the barn consists of making sure the lambs and kids get what they need to grow and thrive. Tiny Dancer figured out how to get on the teat without my holding mom still, but still likes me to visit her in the pen to make sure everything goes smoothly. Bella is not coming along quite the way I hoped, and spends too much time lying down with the kitties. I've been putting her in the barn when I leave for work so she knows what it's like to live with sheep. She's very happy to see me come home and gets up to do a happy dance but is very stiff from sitting with her knees bent all day. I'll be happy when the sheep are on the hillside, standing and grazing on green grass all day long.
