Oh dear, it felt SO good to crawl into bed last night. I think we borth hurt from our head to our toes. Yesterday was designated "sheep day" and it started by giving the lambs a manicure, unfortunately, the lambs weren't too impressed by the prospect and those cute little bundles of fluff morphed into monsters in an instant ! Generally our sheep are too friendly but one glimse of the "foot box" and it's all on war. The lambs formed a solid bunch, watching, waiting and anticipating one move from the man with the box. Sadly Greg is the baddie, always with "the box" the rubber bander or the syringe...I'm the goodie with the peanuts but when I'm with Greg I'm suspect too ! One step from the man with the box and the lambs were on the move, they weren't going to give up their feet without a fight. Fifteen lambs had to be treated and fifteen lambs resisted capture. Chance just wanted to be caught and just stood and watched the process waiting impatiently for her turn.
After the lambs, it was time for attention to turn to lamb Chop. Poor Lamb Chop, he was so ugly his mom disowned him. The only redeeming feature that poor boy has is his personality, he has twisted horns and facial markings that look like he has a Hitler moustache and two black eyes. He is so ugly we love him and he will be staying with us... but Lamb Chop has a problem and it's a very messy smelly problem that we are trying to address. Yesterday he had a makeover. Catching Lamb Chop isn't a problem, just call him and that ugly little sheep comes running. on his skinny little legs. He didn't look too impressed once restrained in the milk stand but feeding peanuts in one end kept his attention fron what was happening on his back end. Lamb Chop still doesn't look good, he is most certainly a work in progress and we aren't going to give up on him.The boy is back with the three amigos, looking like he is wearing white pyjamas...after a dose of pepto bismal...(using a drench) some penicillen and a body shave. We'll see how he looks this morning!
Time to go, it's Rodney the Rams turn today. Oh dear, I think I'll go and find the Ibuprofen now !! Have a great day, take care...M
