Oh, well, they will never know the difference, "B".
The only lambs nameed for stuff thrown off a maritime vessel - Flotsam, Jetsam...
Thankyou Dan for the info on the Newbies, I like the name of Blackforest Mouse, is that the dark faced one!
Thanks for the update, Dan. That will be fun to have siblings with the suffix '-sam'. I hope the one which is ailing will make a good recovery and begin to feel at home again.
I like the idea of siblings being called Flotsom & Jetsam...
Although that being said, maybe Flo, when she next has a lamb, should be called Jetsam, that might be more appropriate as they would be the siblings
They aren't in lamb Helen. But Jasmine our resident Boreray (Flo and Flossy's mother) is in lamb and absolutely her lamb will be Jetsam!
Oh, thanks, Dan, for the update. I'm sure there's a good reason why they have returned to the farm, and maybe this year you will have a Jetsam to match the Flotsam. Are they in lamb?
Thaniks Dan, I wish them well with oyu, & of course You with them. Just tell those other "Bully sheep" to stop pushing & shoving the poor lame lamb & give her a chance to recover. More Sheepish talk...Baaaaa!
Of this group we have 3 registered Boreray; Marlfield Flo, Marlfield Flossy and Backforest Mouse. We also have a cross breed which was born at Marlfield in 2018, who we have now nicknamed Flotsam
You may notice one is lame and is losing wool around her neck. We've had the vet out to her and has diagnosed minor "rain scald" which she has pretty much recovered from, so that' good news. And we believe the lamness is due to pushing and shoving. Her feet are in good condition.
Yep you are correct - 7 sheep!
I'm counting seven sheep in a huddle, having a little gossip.
Good Morning Everyone, I hope you're coping with the snow Helen & are enjoying your Pancakes, Have a Good Day, Everyone & Ewes, too...
