To recap, Sadie had her lamb (currently known as “blackie”) last Wednesday. The next day Pearl gave birth to twins. Their story is much more uneventful and quite a bit shorter. Are you ready? Got your popcorn and your soda?
The Story:
After work, we turned around the curve in our driveway by the pond and came to a gravel-crunching halt. Andy and I both exclaimed something along the lines of “Holy Sh*t!” And this is what we saw:
The End.
We probably didn’t miss the big event(s) by very long because both sheep were still damp and wobbly. As you can see, they are both mostly white, but one has a brown spot on its neck and one has brownish legs. Both also appear to be horned. We’re sure one is a boy (“not spotty”), and at first we thought the other (“spotty”) was a boy, too, but now we’re not so sure. “Blackie” and “Not Spotty” pretty obviously have boy parts a’ danglin’, but I can’t tell if “Spotty” has teeny boy parts or if that’s just fur. We’ve been too busy to catch him/her to find out for sure.
We’re still waiting on Pumpernickle to see if she pops forth a baby or two. We’re pretty sure she’s in the family way, but if she is I reckon she’s at least a week or two off due to lack of udder.
Hahaha awwww. Well, that’s the best way to do it! Go to work and let nature take its course. Congrats to your growing brood. You guys are like Angelina Jolie now! Make sure to give them really unusual names like Severus Excalibur and Peaceful Cambodia, or whatever Ms. Jolie does.
We thought we’d save Peaceful Cambodia for our kid.
