Its the babies! Two boys and a girl picked up this afternoon
from Ruth (and Sammie and Megan)
They were very good in the car.
Tiber (that's him looking at the camera) liked looking out the window though was a bit funny about the large machinery on a side road.
Tiber must be a bit of a surfer cause he stood the whole time.
Unfortunately this morning Sterling has a mishap of some kind that resulted in,
we think a pinched nerve leaving his legs floppy. He may need his tail amputated or worse case he has broken something and will need to be put down. Not cool at all.
But then we picked up the babies from Methven and took them home
and got ready to feed them.
I went over to CRT to get milk powder knowing that calves milk would be cheaper.
Thankfully Sarah was there so I could ask all sorts of questions including getting calves milk
but the CRT lady glowered at me and Sarah
so we wimped out and I spent $30 more than I needed to on lambs milk
which is just cows milk anyway.
Yes our babies get flash as bottles -
glass lemonade bottles which conveniently are exactly 200mls.
I still have to get the feeding three babies at the sametime sorted but we will get there.
This is Clary - he is a bit shakey and cold so he now has he own blanket.
He looks like a dog in this picture???
Then there is greedy guts Tiber. He has personality plus and has fallen off the deck a few times already - darn deck!
He is the one who has already explored the inside of the kitchen and peed on the kitchen mat.
Then there is our wee girl Poppy.
She's not that keen on eating too much
so a bit of a finger in her mouth and a teat shoved in
and she got a few mils down her.
I'm choosing to go with dainty rather than failure to thrive.
And then happy wee babies
after they have peed over the cushion
and the deck
and each other.
and soon I will pop them in the garage and send them to sleep
far enough away from my ears so I won't hear Tiber bleating
and Poppy moo-ing
seriously she sounds like a calf!
