Cute Update: Lamb!

A few weeks ago I had volunteered with my sister to be on lamb watch at the local college's farm. Lamb watch was the night shift for keeping an eye on the pregnant ewes to see if any went into labor. The first night was rather quiet, everyone was rather relaxed so most of the time was spent snuggling with the lambs. On the second night one of the ewes had given birth to 3 little lambs only a few hours before we arrived. Sadly it appeared that the lambs weren't nursing so it was necessary to give a little help. One of the lambs however just couldn't figure out how to nurse. After trying for more then an hour it was determined that someone needed to watch the little guy for the night. Oh boy no one ever tells you how loud lambs could be. It was however amusing when we were taking the lamb away from the barn how all the other ewes began yelling at us, probably calling us baby thieves. For that night my sister and I took turns feeding him every 2 hours or so. He was a lazy nurser, but thankfully the next morning when we brought him back to the barn he magically knew how to nurse. For next month we're expected to rear some baby goats! Fingers crossed that they're be quiet efficient nursing babies.

My sister and I have both received proper training for foster kittens and she has also received her wildlife rehabilitation license. It is ILLEGAL for anyone who is not licensed to have possession of a wild animal. Thank you*****

Now here's a taste of the wild life: Baby opossums and even at a fairly young age their prehensile tails show their capability to wrap and hold on.

Cute Attack of the Day!

Since about the beginning of summer my older sister and I have either been fostering kittens or, because of her work, baby wildlife (Sissy is a wildlife rehabilitator). So I thought that anyone who sees this may want to get a look into the lives of some "foster mums". Please enjoy!

Let's start off with the first kitten we ever fostered: Gus! His poor little paw would not straighten out at the start but after a very short time he was good to go!
