So sorry she was sad...and yes...they really do remember their flock friends for sure...and I figured you'd named her after your sis Bon...buy hey...whoever she is named after...with that name, she will have the cutest babies of all :)

And yeah...read all the bad stuff with animals named Bon or Bonnie...nope...not going to happen to you :hugs

Fluffy, my young yearling Jacob just had a little lamb and I'm pretty sure she is a girl! :weee She's teeny tiny but spunky! :weee I bet she only weighs about 5 pounds. :love Those Jacob sheep are the hardest to tell! They get small little udders and they pop them out when you are least expecting it!

Fluffy was due on Saturday but she didn't seem to have much of an udder, so I was keeping an eye but not real close because I didn't think she would lamb soon. She ate this morning but this afternoon she looked a little off and didn't eat anything. Went out to check on everyone before I went to bed and there was the tiny little baby! Fluffy has the confused look of a first timer but she's being a good mommy and the baby is already nursing. Yay Fluffy!!!! :celebrate

Pics tomorrow. :thumbsup

Congrats! The spotty ones really are tricky, aren't they? Good thing they're good moms though. I spend a lot of time groping udders and staring thoughtfully at backsides trying to figure out when they're going to pop. Mine are due any time now and its driving me nuts.

She's just sooo wittle. Her neck is so scrawny. I am not going to let them out of the jug for a few days. I'm afraid she'll get trampled. :/:(

Why do some of them have such scrawny necks? and that wiry, kinky wool on their neck?? Otherwise, awww! :drool I would be worried about her being stepped on too. Plus its easier to see her when she's penned up.
