Megan's 2008-2009 School Year

My Dad has a Friend that raises sheep too, and about a week ago He called my Dad and said that he had a mom that did not want one of her lambs. So He was wondering if we wanted it and we could bottle feed her. We said yes. Me and dad headed over to his house. When we got there we went into his barn, and He gave us the lamb. Well Dad and his friend and talked and walked around, I tried to feed the lamb. She did not eat much and she was cold so I went back to the car and got a towel that we had brought with, and I wrapped her up and held her. I walked over to Dad and his Friend, and just followed them around for a awhile. Then finally Dad was like well we better go. ( we were there for a long time.) We drove home and took the lamb inside. Then the next day, the lamb would just randomly start bahhing like it was in pain. We did not know what was wrong with it, and then we noticed that it had not pooped. So we were like well that’s not good. After awhile my big sister said that she had read in a sheep book once that on rare occasions lambs are born without a but hole. (I know it sounds really gross) Well last night the lamb was bahhing really loud and Dad finally said “has nobody checked??” and we were all like no. So he was like fine! And he got up and checked and sure enough she had no hole. So we got out some stuff and put her on the table and cut her a but hole. This morning dad took her to the Vet. And the Vet said that we did ok. So now she is outside with all the other sheep. ( ; So we will see what happens I guess.
