This little girl is Leslie. I call her my Shetland type sheep because she's small like a Shetland. I thought for sure she was going to have triplets because she was so wide. She ended up having twins. A boy and a girl. He weighed almost 15 pounds and she weighed 7 pounds . That explained why Leslie was so wide. I swear they are the reincarnation of a married couple. As soon as she was born she started yammering and she wasn't quiet until the little boy answered. He can't leaver her side, even today or she yells at him until he comes back. And they are always talking to each other. It's kind of spooky to me. Any way......he has a black nose and black feet and she has a pink nose and white feet and a very sharp voice when he walks away. That poor little boy. I'm wondering if she is going to let me band he of if she's going to holler at me too. They don't have names yet so if anyone has any ideas you can pass them on for consideration. Next you'll get to meet the rest of the herd.

How about Lucy and Desi? Lucy certainly had a mouth on her....
Oh! Michelle! That was a good one! I go with your suggestion. Hope all are doing well, Linda. Good to see such great looking critters. Take care from KY.
That is a good suggestion Michelle.If I can remember right(gosh, it was so long ago} didn't Desi do all the yelling (in Spanish) and didn't Lucy end up crying all the time? Maybe the little girl should be named Desi huh?
Diedre and Luke? Desiree and Lou?

Take care, Linda!
On the old "I Love Lucy" shows we have on DVD, Lucy is the one you hear the most . . . with a loud, grating, obnoxious voice . . . .
That sounds like it'd be perfect for the ewe lamb. What do you think Linda?
I think these two have just found their names. I feel really bad for Desi. Mom and Lucy went out to the upper pasture this morning and being so hot, Desi just wanted to stay in the shelter but Lucy kept ba-ing until he finally got his weary little bones up and plodded out to her. His head hanging down all the way. I usually bring some of the sheep out with me when I'm home and working outside and I think I will let him and Willie come and snoop around. Then she cam call him all she wants and he won't hear her. He needs time to spend with the other guys.
