Friday 7/27 Morning....
Last year when we were having the horrible dog attacks one of our sheep was run down the lava tube by the dogs. We found her with a huge bite out of her neck and standing on a tiny ledge where she had apparently been all night. She was shaking, in total distress and only bout a year or so old. Michael, Derek and Benito hauled he up from the tube, to the surface and we named her PUKA because of the horrible wound in her neck. Our Michael cleaned it, closed it and cared for that wound for a very long time. It took a lot of gentle handling to make her not be afraid all the time. Our darling Puka had her first lamb this morning!! A cute little boy with a basicaly white body but black markings distributed here and there. So far she is proving to be a good momma and the baby is running after her happily, nursing well and generally looking good.
I look forward to these mornings when new life blooms....
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
