Elvira has been acting strange for the past few days. So strange, in fact, that she's been in lambing jug (so we could keep an eye on her). Today, Scott and I left for an appointment, and when we returned....

| Licking baby... a lot. |
Elvira gave birth to a single lamb sometime around noon today. The lamb is a girl, and she's 99% white--she has a few black spots. According to our scale, she weighed six pounds. I think that's a little low. We've named her Peanut because of Elvira's fondness for peanuts.

| Where's the milk? |
Peanut had a bit of trouble getting started nursing. Specifically, her momma wouldn't let her in the udder vicinity. She was too busy licking her.
 |
| I'm sparkly clean now, Mom! |
Once again, Calico attempted a lambnapping. And once again, Theresa was a bit freaked out.
