Molly, our new Suffolk ewe lamb, came home today. She was loaded onto the trailer and was sad to leave her family behind. She said goodbye to her mom, aunties and all the farm animals she knew.
We will use her to breed for new lambs for meat.
But once she got here she began to check things out.
She still cries now and then but she is beginning to get used to things. Prudence, our Babydoll lamb, will arrive next month on Mother's Day weekend.
Norman went to his dog training tonight. Each time he does a little better but we need to get him around people and other animals more. He gets so excited when we take him out he get a little uncontrollable. On the homestead we need a dog that is under control and responds to commands.
But he is learning.
He did make everyone laugh when he went to run through the tunnel. He went in and laid down in the middle and didn't want to come out.
When he came home from class he went out to be with Molly. They love each other. He even went in the house and got one of his dolls to share with her.
He presented it to her and stepped back. She was unsure what to do. It is a beginning.
I did get a new potholder crocheted. Someone had given me a bunch of Sugar and Cream yarn, which is all cotton . They are great for potholders (acrylic would melt) and dish cloths. I hope to make a few more for Christmas presents. This one is pretty big and very easy to follow here .
peace
