Guess who is back to night time feedings...

This morning we found this mama sheep dead in the pasture and her baby was trying to adopt himself out to a different sheep who already had twins

So what else were we to do but bring him in and give him a shower (yes right in the middle of our lunch dishes - we had been away most of the morning and had run home to eat a quick lunch before heading out again - don't worry, the sink was washed well ;) )

All we had was a calf bottle

Just a little too big

So we gave him some milk from a medicine dropper (we had lamb milk replacer in the freezer just in case)

 

And headed out to a graduation party (yes, we brought him along...)

We stopped at a grocery store on the way and bought a baby bottle - a much better size for him!  The graduation party was on a farm and in a shed, so he wasn't too out of place - the hosts were very gracious - and the lamb was well spoiled!

Our very patient resident grandpa very kindly offered to take the night shift so baby Snowball doesn't get lonely!  I doubt if he will be willing to do the night time feeding, though!
