Are you kidding me, Straw? She's adorable lol
Well yesterday evening the little lamb had poop all over her butt
Smelly and Ali didn't want to clean it either! Lol, she would sniff it and quickly move her nose away lol. And it's like you know, if you had been keeping up with her butt, you wouldn't have this issue. It wasn't terrible, but this morning it was worse. So she came inside and my mom and I hosed off her butt with warm water. Now she's all clean and pretty 
Hopefully she doesn't get any more poop on her butt, I'm going to dock her tail this afternoon and would rather not have to deal with poop underneath the O ring.
I also tagged Katy Perry & Lady Gaga last night with farm tags. I straddled them in between my legs and they ran all over the place and dragged me with them when I put pressure on the tag applicator. But once the tags finally clicked, then I let them go and they started baaing at me and climbing on me to give them their grain. I gave them a little extra since they got tagged. Lady Gaga is #9 and Katy Perry is #10. The new lamb born Friday will be #13 and I will tag her today with her farm tag and scrapie tag.
Ciqala is due to lamb in 2 days at the earliest!

Lol these lil buggers are like 80-90 lbs a piece. They seemed to have really tapered off in their growth. They are pretty much 'full grown' now, just waiting for them to get their adult bodies lol. They are pretty much as tall as Ali but they aren't as wide or long as her.
Lady Gaga wasn't as bad, she was mainly trying to escape by backing away. When that didn't work, she tried charging. Katy Perry was watching the entire time, so she decided to escape by charging and she was almost successful! haha

Lambie is so darling!!!! And yes, even lambs can knock you over if they go between your legs while another is bumping on one side...and it's muddy...have been knocked on my butt a few times.
Can't wait for more of your lambs to arrive...so cute!!!

Lol, I'm going to name her when the other lambs hit the ground. I'm thinking either superheroes or Twilight
So far her name could be Bella, Esme, Rosalie, or Alice. Or it could be Starfire, Wonder Woman (btw, my dad knows Lynda Carter, who played WW in a movie...well not really know, but she knows his name lol; she shops at the grocery store that my dad's a NPF manager at), Poisen Ivy, Mystique, or Dazzler.
I think I like the Twilight names for her better I'm thinking Bella or Esme.

I tagged & docked the little lamb today. And my mom took a video. It should be uploaded in a couple hours.... (At 11% now.)
Poor thing is taking it harder than the average lamb. Shaking her head, running around, laying down, rolling around, getting up, and repeating the process all over again. I haven't checked on her since I did it (about an hour and a half ago), but she should be fine by now.
And I'm almost out of hay so I'm gonna go get some probably tomorrow on my way home from work
