It definitely helps that the two survivors are doing well and are gorgeous.

She had licked off and nursed one when I checked, but two were still in their sacks. I was so disappointed, but opened them any ways, then the surprise-1 was still alive! So she still had 2 lambs at least. Sheep (and other animals) never stop surprising us! I'm glad that yous still has 2 lambs.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586123852648939448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-49291920945219127502009-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:002009-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:00It is easy and fun when things are going good, but...It is easy and fun when things are going good, but I think what really defines us is how we deal with the unexpected and bad things that sometime occur... I think that you and Tom are both top notch.

Ye...Oh, I do hope the remaining lambs (lambS - TWO! Yea!) do well. I think I'd rather find one dead than have to put a deformed one down, like I read a shepherd had to do on another blog. These ewes do have surprises for us sometimes. Brava's second twin was born more than four hours after the first, and my vet husband was SURE she was done after one. I do think they were preemies, as neither had erupted teeth, but both have thrived. I pray yours do, too.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-8692319995706455142009-04-23T11:02:00.000-07:002009-04-23T11:02:00.000-07:00It was a long drawn out ordeal for all of us.

I am glad you ended up with at least 2 out of the 3 lambs and am happy you got the lamb you have always wanted. Jenny had quite a time of it with this birth didn't she?HisTekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952834322051604277noreply@blogger.com
