Room to romp

Can we go out there, please?

Yesterday was supposed to be dry (it wasn't...), so I put Rechel and her boys and the two maiden ewes out in the sheep lot and took apart the lamb jugs, giving Dinah and Valentine and their young ones the run of the sheep fold. Browning was very curious about Val's twins - perhaps because they looked more like him than his own family? Anyway, things went swimmingly for awhile, and then Dinah started butting Valentine. So I put the puppy pen divider up so Valentine and her sweet chocolate things could have the original "bonding suite" area, giving both ewes and their lambs more room to run and play than the lambing jugs provided. Valentine seemed relieved....
Dinah's twins, being four days older, really took advantage of the chance to stretch their little legs. Who needs TV when lambs are playing? Of course, I had to try to catch their antics with my camera. I took photo...after photo...after photo...how nice it is to have a digital camera instead of wasting film on dozens of missed shots!

Once in a great while, you get lucky!

Of course, they are also cute when they are standing still.
Blanche fancies herself a mountain climber or a Grand Prix jumper; she often tries to scale her mom.
Today truly was dry (and sunny and warmer!), so everyone got the same accommodations again (then back to the lambing jugs at night). I am hoping to put everyone together in the sheep lot this weekend while the nice weather continues. Maybe the pullets will venture outside their coop, too!

That's it for now at bouncing . . .
