Meet Struan Farm's own "Little Rascals," the pet lambs such as they are at the moment. Bubbles, Ajax, Bambi and Diva. The situation could change at any time with new additions, I'm standing by and haven't yet reached "capacity." Predictably the next one comes along just after everyone has settled down after the most recent addition, and once everyone is aligned on the same feeding amounts/schedules.
While I don't play favourites, and their personalities aren't obvious just yet, I find myself loving "Bambi's" cute brown face and sensitive little baas as she waits her turn for the bottle.
At this point I'm having a hard time telling the two remaining triplets, Bubbles and Ajax, apart. Except at bottle times, when Bubbles sucks it straight down while Ajax fiddle faddles around. (Obviously I could also tell but lifting them up.) I'll sort out their distinguishing characteristics and personalities in due course, too much is going on for that right now.
And despite her diminutive status, Diva remains quite vocal and feisty. She hasn't managed to wedge herself into the Pet Palace with the other three just yet, but I give her another day to settle in.
More stories and photos to follow. As you will know, this now goes on pretty much through Christmas!
