When you bottle-feed a lamb, they instantly recognize you as the source of "Mommy" things. They do get a bit confused because you aren't there all the time. But it really is a precious thing to have a lamb be friendly. I am, however, reminded of who I am daily. Every time I go out the door, I hear Maaaaa. Maaaa, Maaaa, Maaaa.

Today I was in the yard blowing leaves and my lamb, Meadow, thought that was fun. She kept running up to me and then away. She was 0bviously enjoying herself. One of the most expressive things a sheep can do is leap up and kick out. It is such an expression of pure joy!
