Katmoget is the pattern....it means that her body is light and her face, legs, and belly are dark and she has light colored markings on her face. The pattern is known in other breeds as "badger-face" or "mouflon".

Here is a picture that shows her pattern better....

Thank you Purplequeen. She is adorable. What do you call Signe's pattern other than Mohawk...and Radically Awesome? She is very cute! They both are cute.

Signe is a black (probably will turn grey) blettet. Blettet refers to the white spots on her face. This is what I love about the Shetlands, so many cool colors and patterns that you don't see in most other sheep. And the lambs are so stinkin' cute!

The vet is coming out sometime this afternoon to take a look at Rikki. Her foot is still swollen and now there is a visible wound (wasn't there before). She doesn't want to stand and now she won't eat. Her temperature is normal, maybe a bit low actually, and her eyelid color is good. I'm not sure if she is just reacting to the pain or if something else is going on.

I hope Rikki is ok!

She should be ok, but she has a large abscess. The vet had to cut almost the entire pad off that toe. She was such a good girl! No spitting, she wasn't even on a lead!

Oweee... Hope she gets better soon!
