Bummer lambs are orphaned lambs or extra lambs. Sometimes a ewe (female sheep) will give birth to 3 lambs, but she only has two teats, so one of the lambs has to be bottle fed.
Lottie loves our new bummer lambs. She loves to keep watch or chase them if they decide to run away. But her favorite is licking their poo off their butts. Uh, yuck!
We had four, but the one I'm holding died, which was for the best because he had a broken hip. His name was Shaun the Sheep.
Now we have Justin Bieber, Niqui Manaj, and Catalina, but we all just call her Lamby :) She is our special girl and gets house privileges. You can see the picture of her in the diaper. She was very small when we got her, too small, so she had to stay inside for a week so she was extra warm. She even came with her own wardrobe of sweaters! Now she is outside with the others, but occasionally gets to snuggle on the couch or scamper about in the living room. They are all very lovable and always so busy exploring everything.
