| Tiffany & Theresa: Beggars |
Tiffany is another one of the Shetland ewes we brought home in October. Tiffany is almost three years-old and this will be her first year having a lamb.

Tiffany is very friendly. She's one of the first ewes to come up to me when I enter the pasture. It's most likely for the peanuts, which she acquired a taste for right away. She's friendly enough that I've gotten my hands on her belly. It feels like there might be a lamb in there! (Of course, this is a highly unscientific method of pregnancy detection.)

Theresa has been with us since the beginning. This will be her first year having a lamb, too; she was too young last year. She had a bit of a freak out during lambing season last year; hopefully, she'll catch on to what's happening before it's her turn this year.

| Theresa: She's all grown up now. |
Theresa can be friendly--she's usually right alongside Tiffany begging for peanuts--but she's also the most skittish sheep we have. She hears the slightest noise or sees the slightest movement, she's off. There's no chance of getting my hands on her belly. I've tried to sneak up on her, and it is impossible.

| Theresa: Up and ready to run. |
