Meet Benjamin Button.
lesson 1 never let your grandchildren name your animals.
-
He's beautiful, really lovely.
Personally I think the grandchildren have done better than OH naming mine "eric and ernie" I think not!!!
-
And theres more,
We had such a lovely day yesterday that they were able to have a little while wandering round the yard, today it is raining and the minute I opened the door he was first out and not too happy when he was put back inside
Second pic is of Auntie Gobo who seems to be very happy with her little nephew
-
He is seriously cute.
What's in a name? I name all mine starting with Snow. First one was Snowflake, who was always known as Flo. Her daughter is Snowdrift, known as Pom since she was a dear llittle tiddlypom when she was born. Whatever you call them, the chances are they'll end up with something different.

Oh Anne I'm made up for you, aren't you just SO glad you got those wee goaties. Love the name, well done the kiddies :hug: I feel all emotional ::)
-
So so cute :love: and a most perfect name for him, I love it :thumbsup:
-
Can't believe how cute that is. I'm interested to know what happens when you run out of suffices for 'Snow' names.
Personally I like the name. I have no idea how I am going to think of names for my lot. Mums all have plant or fruit names.
-
Benjamin Button is a great name and suits him perfectly :thumbsup: What a little sweetheart :love:

Still got Snowstorm and Snowcrystal to come, then I guess I'll just have to start again. If Pom has a daughter next, then Cloud will be going for slaughter so I can recycle that name.

Oh you are all heart! Poor Cloud

I had to read those aloud to get it... ;D
But I do like Benjamin Button :thumbsup:

Apart from the fact that I just can't take to her, she has a fish tail teat so may not be able to be milked and I wouldn't be able to keep or sell any of her kids.
-
She is a little ... feisty... isn't she. :innocent:
-
Very good, Daisy's mum! As Scottish as I am even I had to read some out to get them. Been living in England too long.
-
He is just gorgeous.Please tell me that he isnt destined for the freezer! Actually, OH has just transferred some photos of the boys over to my computer as I lost all the contents of my old one when it died. It wont even boot up now! The pictures are of when they were just 3 months old and they were seriously cute. Mind you, I still think they are cute, they are the best and I love them to bits even though Billy can be a little strong minded at times! Toby is still a right old softy though.
-
So why aren't they on here, Mary, so we can all see?
-
She is a little ... feisty... isn't she. :innocent:
Just a tad. ;D
-
Well happy to do their feet agin in a month if needed. As you say, a satisfying job although I'm glad my sheep just need doing a couple of times a year!
-
NM he is definitely not destined for the freezer, he has been booked along with whatever kid Gobo has to go to a family with 3 children to be pampered pets.y

Thanks, Kate. I may well hold you to that. At least there'll only be two of them by then.

As long as I can pick the nail varnish next time. :eyelashes:
