They must be big now.. Have they gone to new homes yet.?? Did you keep any.?? So cute

 

[EllieMay]

All the puppies have gone to their new homes. I really do miss the little puppy stage. I kept a male for myself and weighed him when he was 6 months old. He weighed 110-lbs. They grow so fast!

Anyway, I posted a few pics of Daddy on Facebook and thought I'd post 'em here, too.

We're starting our lambing season.
Didn't start off smoothly.

Yesterday I had a ewe with a water bag presented. I waited for the lambs to be born, but nothing happened all day. This morning I took my ewe to the Vet, and she was only dilated at 2. Vet had to do an emergency C-section.

C-section went well; ewe is up and standing.
She had twin ewe lambs; both were dead.

I will bring her home and milk her to freeze her colostrum and milk. At least another lamb could possibly use it.

Just not the most pleasant way to start off the lambing season.
