Ron, I'll give you the special honor her firstborn lamb is named after you she would've been such a good mother but I had to put her down, this ewe When the vet came to perform this task to a second lamb she had given birth Noah, for being such a caring person the black one will carry your name on earth I had help from my daughter to feed them they were hungry and drank all the milk don't you think they're so precious lambs when stroking their fur's it feels like silk After they had their bellies full they lay down on the grass to rest I'll mourn their mother's death, I will for her Eastergift, I'll do my utmost best The mother had a severe uncurable braindammage, but she showed so much love for her lambs. I've asked the vet to put her down, for the stress of not being able to take care of these lambs was too much for her. It was a hearthbreaking sight. So, sad as it may be, I'm happy with her precious Eastergift. A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

I know, I know Titia, what pain you have over having to put down such a precious life, but if she could not care for her lambs, at least she left them in very very good hands.... |

Lovely poetry Titia. Is a 'spotted' lamb unusual? All I've ever seen are pure white or black ones.... |

Beautiful sentiment, Titia. Death and life...endings and beginnings. Such is the way of life, even among lambs..... |

Hi friends, the lambs are doing fine, warming themselves in the sun and drinking their bellies full. I have such fun choosing names from the blue pages, because each year it became more difficult to think up names and now I have so many to choose from. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

I've been watching and reading about these little lambs of yours. What a sweet gesture to name them after your friends here. Enjoyed the pictures so much Titia, and I am sorry about their Mum, bless her for the wee ones she has left in your loving hands. I hope you'll keep us posted. |
