Sukka is the brown yearling ewe who had these two black HST lambs. I will keep the boy, on the right. His sister, left-- not a terribly flattering pose, we've called Flower, for the skunk in Bambi-- if you see the resemblance. She's bigger and sturdier now. Sukka's been an excellent mom.
Maple is a lovely musket Shetland ewe who is a dear pet of mine. Her mom was a largish, white ewe with superabundant fleece, Highland Hollows Bluebell; her dad was a beautiful mioget ram named FirthofFifth don Telmo Bourbon. She got his reddish brown color, which faded to cream. Maple has a modified brown ram lamb this year. Oh, Emily has Mikie the cat in her lap, as well as Maple.
Next, Emily wins the heart-- for the first time! Of a little black Finn ewe lamb. Her mom, Kimi, is the gray/black ewe in the middle, while Maple still hopes to hold onto her position with Emily...
This other little Finn ewe lamb will go with a badgerface lamb (seen in the last post) to live in Missouri, with Jennifer. I just had to show you how danged sweet she is. Emily is petting her brown Shetland favorite, Annie, and the little ewe.
... but apparently, not enough!

Hi Gail,
Love the photos of Emily and the lambs. I have some friendly "climbers" who can't get enough petting, too, and I am trying to break them of that habit before they get so big that it won't be cute anymore. Hard, though.
How's Howard doing?
