Thanks Blacksheep. I'll ring vets and double check. It'll be tomorrow now-oh  :o it IS tomorrow now. Lambing hey!
Mairi, bless you you've given me some hope. Maybe I'm trying with too open a teat. Anything is worth trying at this stage. We are utterly knackered. Snatches of 4 hours sleep at a time at most. It'll be worth it. People think we're crazy to be so full on but our sheep deserve all the care we can give. I wish we had some help though sometimes. YAAAAAWWN  :tired:
Hee hee I've been baaing at her trying to sound like mum and get her to baa back. Daft old bugger aren't I! Just want her to still feel like a sheep. I don't think she's impressed  ::)

Oh, I am sooo sorry  :bouquet: I was willing her to pull through. At least she won't have a rattly chest in lamb heaven.

Oh how sad.  :bouquet: .  It hurts so much when you lose one you have grown so fond of especially after all the care you have given.  Take comfort in knowing you couldn't have done any more than you did for Gretchen.  :hug:

The only restbite you can take - is that you did the best and tried your hardest - lambie could not have asked for more.

Always a sad time x

We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back
