Bridget had two girls! I was only expecting one lamb from her so I am very happy.

#1 black blettet (blettet means that she has white spots on her head) ewe, 6.5 lbs

#2 moorit blettet ewe, 4.5 lbs. This little girl is sooo tiny and precious! She's a little pocket sheep. She was born breech.

If you can't tell, I'm in love already!

Only one more ewe to go! Ingrid is due on the 28th and will most likely have twins.

How adorable!!! They sure have a coat on them!!!!

The girls are doing well this morning. The little one is still as tiny and cute as ever.

#1 - Breeja

All Shetlands have a very distinct (read: loud and obnoxious) voice. The first 2 lambs you almost need earplugs when they holler. Thankfully Breeja isn't that loud (yet).

Breeja's big white splotch

#2 Kitty, she is named after a friend and also because her voice sounds like a kitten. :-*

Kitty's white. She has a lot of "frosting" on her ears.

Rosa, the long-suffering mother

Nigel spent his first night out in the big pen and without his jacket. I think he survived.....

I have a feeling that he is going to wean himself early. He drank an once of milk this morning and didn't want anymore. He's not sick, had full belly, and was full of beans this morning. Silly goat.

Fae wants to be a goat. It is scary how goat-like the Shetlands can be.

BEDROOM UPDATE!!!

My dad fixed everything that needed fixing and we bought the paint a couple days ago!

What breeding is Rosa?

 

[purplequeenvt]

Rosa is also a Shetland. The two girls from last night are her half sisters.

I don't know much about Shetlands, do ya have to shear them or do they shed (a type of hair sheep)? Lol, I guess I figured all Shetlands are fluffy all the time, but logically they can't be!

Oh gosh they are SO cute, I can't wait for my Shetland Cinnamon to have babies! She looks like she has a furry basketball for an udder at this point. Cinnamon is a reddish color, what do you call that color?

Nigel looks healthy and happy, too!
