Lambing nude!
« on: April 04, 2014, 09:48:08 pm »
Our little lambing shed is off the back of our house. Go out the back door and you’re in it. Which is what I did at 7:00 this morning. Just out of bed and in my dressing gown. The first thing I saw was a yearling ewe – a first timer and without a clue – wandering round the pen with a lamb’s head and forelegs displaying at her rear end. I could have returned to the bedroom to dress – but would you? Thus I turned my hand to the task and, very soon, realised that my dressing gown was getting wet. Again, I could have abandoned the task to dress. But the pressing nature of the task – and the fact that the lambing shed is not overlooked – meant that it was more practicable to throw off my dressing gown and get on with the job without encumbrances. Thus when, shortly afterwards, my wife arrived on the scene, she was surprised to find her husband lambing nude. But as the result was a fine Vendéen ewe lamb, what do I care. After all, neither the ewe nor the lamb registered any complaint!

Best wishes

The Naked Shepherd!

Oh, I forgot to mention that my wife suggested that I should post a photograph. But of what, I asked..............!

And I thought lambing in my pyjamas was a little unorthodox!

A vet I used to work with could be seen on occasion after particularly mucky tasks wandering through reception, belly swinging, in black Y fronts that could be at best described as inadequate (they looked like they were stolen from a 10 year old boy some decades earlier) so you are not alone

Its not just twin lamb disease that makes them go blind (or wish they were blind)

I've never quite gone that far but yes, you just get on with it don't you, and if you're in wellies and pjs...  :innocent:

My then-hubby once raced downstairs to rescue the kittens who had jumped out of the bedroom window.  He said it wasn't until he had them safely gathered up into his arms that he realised he was stark b*****k naked!  :o  And we lived in a little cul-de-sac, with some neighbours who loved watching life in the close through their net curtains...  :roflanim:

My wife suggested that I post a photograph of me holding a strategically placed lamb. But in view of Me's comments concerning the effect on lambs, goodness knows what this might do to other members. So maybe I'll just leave that idea to be taken up for the 2015 accidental smallholder calendar!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
