This evening in pictures

by Susan on April 20, 2010

I hate to get anyone’s hopes up, but Tiny is rallying tonight. He’s much more alert, much more active and nursing from his mama again. We’ll keep tubing him every four hours through night and hope he continues to improve. Update in the morning.

I was just thinking about Tiny Lamb while putting away the dinner dishes, hoping that he was doing better. Hope all goes well tonight.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting these! He is SO tiny… I’m 4’11″ so I always root for the little ones :) Sending lots of excellent healthy vibes, I so very much hope he rallies and eventually thrives. And, thanks for all the hard work you’re doing — it must be exhausting in every way, and all I can say is that it’s deeply, deeply appreciated.

Lots of prayers for the health of Tiny.

Betsey April 20, 2010 at 10:32 pm

I’m glad Mr. Tiny is getting such loving attention. He’s got all of us pulling for him.

He’s so itsy-bitsy. Like a little, delicate toy. I hope he had a good night and much nice, warm mom-milk.

With all the care & love he is getting, he just has to pull thru ! Preemies can be so remarkable….!

Tiny is the perfect size for Sierra!

Erin L April 21, 2010 at 4:57 pm

I am beyond in love with Tiny.

Helen (realhelen) April 21, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Love the pics! Sierra looks smitten!

Maureen J (mljan) April 21, 2010 at 6:13 pm

A little girl, all in pink, holding a tiny lamb. Sweetness.

Julie Roads April 21, 2010 at 6:52 pm

I realize this may sound ridiculous, but I’m really glad to see you all holding him. I had a preemie myself – and she thrived and I KNOW it had everything to do with the fact that we held her constantly, skin to skin, while the nurses in the NICU insisted that she didn’t need to be held and that we should put her in her incubator. I know he’s a lamb and his mom can’t really hold him, but somehow, I have to believe that this helps…love is love, after all.

Pam from Kansas April 22, 2010 at 1:11 pm

The photos of the lamb and little girl are just priceless. Thanks for sharing and good luck to the little guy.

karen knight April 26, 2010 at 3:47 pm

Hi – looks like you bought my farm – Skyview – from the Texas attorney couple? I am the one who built it. Hope you are enjoying it – I love your website and I am so happy you now own the farm and are raising sheep. What a wonderful discovery! Best karen
