More wordless cute? Here.

Did I Do Something Wrong?
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the misbehaving, escape artist new puppies (who are a mix of Anatolian Shepherd, Komondor, and Great Pyrenees) are driving some of us nuts - but as soon as you get mad at them they look at you like this. More puppy details on the way, I promise.
Kids Eat Free!
Sorry, No Puppies
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where it's too bad the new puppies (who are - for those of you who have been asking - Anatolian Shepherd, Komondor, and Great Pyrenees) don't actually eat hay, since at this feeding rate we're probably going to have to start buying kibble by the ton.

Snug As Three Bugs In A Rug (Yep, there are three tucked in there)
Current Lamb Count: 25, including one born Friday (Liselotte's), one born Saturday (Bella's), and one born Sunday (Alisha's). Number of times I counted the lambs and ewes locked in the barn tonight: I stopped counting the counting at 9.
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the sheep obviously have cloaking capabilities - because otherwise our counting skills would look incredibly pathetic.

It's Probably Good That We Don't Live Near The Beach
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where no lambs were harmed during this burial (which we had to share despite the slightly blurry photo) - he and his mother, who showed up moments later, simply ate his way out.

Day Two: Pups On Patrol
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where this photo was actually taken back on March 10th, so these puppies are a little bigger than this now - like twice the size. (I wanted to make sure it looked like things were going to work out before letting you fall in love with them.)

Seeing Spots Again
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where sometimes it's double or nothing during lambing season. Last year Snugglebunny lost her big baby boy (and adopted a little girl), but this year she had twins, one black and one all covered with spots - just like she did two years ago, except they were girls and these are boys.
Ready For Her Close Up
Current Lamb Count: 22. Number of cute overload moments lately between all the new baby lambs, baby chicks, and fluffy white pups: More than should probably be allowed on one farm.
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the new puppies are even softer than they look - not that we've been snuggling them or anything, because you aren't supposed to make cuddly pets out of the livestock guardians. But a little pat or two never hurt anybody.

Meet And Greet With Cary
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the new puppies are growing faster than I can answer all your fun questions about them, but hopefully I'll have some answers posted soon. Thanks for your patience, and in the meantime, enjoy the cute before they get to be 125 pounds apiece!
Our Latest Defense Against The Coyotes
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where just because you're adorable doesn't mean you can't be scary, too - and one of the toughest things about farm life is knowing that you're not supposed to cuddle the livestock guard dogs.
Time Out© 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Farmgirl Susan shares stories & photos of her crazy country life on 240 remote Missouri acres - and it's exhausting being this cute.

Single Chick Seeks Companion Of Like Size & Species
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where it's always more fun (and more cute!) with friends, but at least if you're the only kid you don't have to fight anybody for the landing pad - and you get all of mom's attention.
Baby Talk
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where everybody talks with their mouth full. Or partway full. Or maybe just a little piece of hay full. Oh, wait. Last Wednesday I said nobody around here talks with their mouth full. Okay maybe she's just chewing. Or maybe I just shouldn't be trying think up captions and tag lines this late at night. At least there's no arguing that she's cute!

Bear The Babysitter (among other things)
Current Lamb Count: 18, including three lambs born yesterday. Eleven more pregnant ewes to go!
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Liselotte, who looks like she's going to give birth any second, is now safe and secure in a bonding pen and has been ordered pleaded with to please wait until morning to have her lamb(s) because it's way past this tired farmgirl's bedtime!

Milkface Moves Beyond Milk
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Farmgirl Susan shares stories & photos of her crazy country life on 240 remote Missouri acres - and even baby lambs know everybody needs some fiber in their diet.

Raa Raa Black Sheep! (You know I love the black ones)
Current Lamb Count: 15, including this itty bitty newborn cutie pie. Number of farmgirls getting a little tired of stealth milkers - baby lambs who act as if they don't know how to nurse (and refuse to drink from a bottle, so you end up feeding them every couple of hours with a syringe) and then take a nice little drink as soon as you turn your back: 1.
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where it's late night sheep-related multi-tasking time: I've been ordering vet supplies (10 minutes before they closed), doing a prego/baby barn check (the moon is so bright!), and posting this lamb photo (the problem with black is that it always shows the dirt!) in between baking trays of banana bribe cookies (recipe coming soon!) for a farmgirl friend who's leaving her sheep tomorrow in order to come over to help me work mine. Baaaaaa!
