The red kids do make a nice couple, don't they? Zara arrived here on my husband's birthday so both he and Perkins feel like they've had a lovely present given to them. I think her previous owner considers it silly to put coats on dogs but I didn't see Zara complaining about it.
The ram was with the ewes for 17 weeks. I have another 6 ewes to lamb, with doubts about only 1 being in lamb and she could just be going to be late. That ewe in the photo is struggling, I think she is carrying twins and is now very close to lambing(I hope). Sitting up like that must move them into a more comfortable position maybe. She came up to within 6 feet of me this morning and sat like that, I felt it was a plea for help. Short of giving her a trip up and down a bumpy road in a trailer though, it's all up to her.
