Babies on the Blog

Ok, I know I promised not to keep posting  baby pictures,
and that I would ( on occassion),
 blog about a few other things.
Well, I could not resist placing a few more:
Babies on the Blog!
For the squimish, these images may not be suitable for you..

You see,
births usually do entail some blood and gore,
urine and placentas.
Just some sheep have more of the one, and less of the other while giving birth..

Unfortuantely, when I decided to take pictures of this particular ewe and her lambs,
I did not know she was going to be a messy one with all of the above, all at once.

You see, most "sheep bloggers" like to post pictures of:
cute,  white and oh so clean,
soft fluffy lambs.

Me?
I like to give you the real deal..

the works
and afterbirths.

But despite the gore,

the lambs are pretty cute.

Just look at these sweet little ears.

and this face..

And, to end this somewhat gruesome post here is the

Sheep Joke of the Day:

 What did the cloned sheep say to the other sheep?

 "I am ewe".

Have a good weekend!

More baby pictures..

Ok, I promise that not every blog will be about the pups.
I will still blog about other things on occasion.
But, today
it will still be about the puppies.

After I did my 2am round at the ewes,
I popped in to visit with Snowy and the pups.
When I got there, I saw that one f the pups had died.

It was one of the smaller, dark males.
I suppose this is natural selection.

Here is a photo of all eleven pups, these were taken yesterday afternoon:

Here are some "head shots",
they only become really cute in a few weeks time.

Peas in a pod..
sardines in a can..
ten puppies in a pile?

The name game has started here at home.
I like to give the pups a theme name.
I was thinking about truck/car name theme?
How about:

Chevy
Dodge
Ford
Porche
Ferrari
Kia
Nissan
Toyota
Mercedes
Jetta

or should I just do like I inevitably do, and that is
name them by the colour of their collar..
Green
Blue

Yellow
Black (y)

I suppose,
time will tell....

Is this  pup, a Chevy or Green?

Snowy has had her pups!

Snowy and Vuk have produced 11 pups!
There are 6 males and 5 females.

We are speechless to say the least..
We certainly did not expect a whole soccer team.

All the pups will be grey or karabash coloured (blond with black mask).
These pups will be registered with the United Kennel Club.
If anyone is looking for a sarplaninac..
we have some for sale.
(No kidding..)

I will place regular pictures of the pups on our website.

and of course right here at this blog!
