She is adorable! :love Would she fit in a box? I'm pretty sure she'd be even cuter living with my alpacas :p

You know she probably could but whether anybody could tear her from my cold dead fingers remains to be seen. :plbb

So cute!!

I actually saw an ad on craigslist a few weeks ago for a couple of female Royal (I think) yaks and thought of you. :)

Saw her in person today. She's so tiny! Nigerian Dwarfs are bigger than she is.

Her big sister, Ruby, loves her! She keeps licking and sniffing her. She was curled up next to her when we got home.

I am apparently not a threat according to Betty. She let me play with the baby today while she was eating. She is no more than 30 lbs.
I petted her and than she chased me around! I

It was wonderful to be home this weekend!
I saw the baby yak and picked up the new ones.
Our last grown ewe lambed today as well. She was huge and has had three so far. They were pretty drawn out through out the day. There was one born around 8:30, one at 9:00, and one around 1:00. When I left at 3:00 we weren't certain she was done.
PICS REMOVED
They are a little premature. One had her eyes sealed ( theyre open now), the other two haven't stood yet. We had to milk out her teats a little. We got 1/2 liter and they were still swollen. Her udder is pretty glorious. Here is the first two and mom.

Here are the new girls who we are thinking of naming them Dixie, Trixie, and Pixie and the baby Sophie

Yep she's black and white. She should be pretty flashy when she grows up.

Today was a good day. Went to class and a lab. My lab got out early which was a bonus! My friend and I ate lunch, went to the zoo, and walked downtown for milkshakes. There's this real nifty dinner downtown that has the BEST food. I have this affinity for marshmallow milkshakes which gross my family out.

I also , finally, got a connection for my camera so no more crappy pics from my phone!

We also lost two of the triplets. One had a really delayed birth and the other just stumbled and couldn't walk. On the upside he ewe lamb survived, her eyes are open, and she has that entire udder to herself. We've named her Blind-y
