We learn a little more each day ...

Been awhile since I popped in here, My days have been busy with the Animals, bottle feeding the lambs and spending time with my Grandson Cobi before they fly back to South Africa. (So not happy about that) we have been up to the property twice in the last month getting ready for the fire season, lots of mowing and brushcutting, dealing with out of hand lantana. The lantana seems to take over and pop up everywhere if given half a chance and that is exctly what happened, it's everywhere. Going to be a huge job to get rid of it. Miss Lashes's lamb is doing great, he is doing a great impersonation of a Cabana sausage "Round and Fat". Miss Bella had twin on a very cold night and both the baby lambs got sick, one I had to take away because he could not stand up at all so would have died without that first milk. She would not accept him back after that and so he had to be bottled feed. Unfortunately we lost our baby lamb last night the vet had warned us it was going to be rough but we pulled him through only to lose him to bloat last night, might have be different if we had not been out to fetch Tanya from the airport. Suppose it's like having servere colic so I massaged some of the wind out and poop while Tanya mixed the vegetable oil and disprin and then feed it to him. He got a hotwater bottle and way a lot more comfortable. late night for some of us but still we lost him. There is so much to learn ... if you know of a better method please share Cobi was a little upset last night and even said 3 prayers for the little lamb. So sweet ... so far we have 5 lambs for this season 2 ewes and 3 rams that should keep him happy Until nexttime have a lovely day Rina
