Hello Folks
Crazy busy, huge snow storms ( we have done nothing but shovling snow for weeks now) lots of work in the barns and the house etc, we have new lambs, new kids, new rabbit kits. One of the kids was rejected by its mother, and so its now in the house being bottle feed, it will be moved out in a few weeks when bigger and stronger, but much to my surprise it was Freyja that decided that she would play nanny to this little buck..
He came in very cold and weak, and she took right to him, she had just come out of heat, so I guess her mommy hormones are in full gear, but she just decided he was her's and she has taken to cleaning his face/ears and she lays in front of his box and guards it from the other dogs, she is now letting them come say hello but even when he is up and walking around, she follows him and watchs over him.
I will admit to being surprised as Freyja is a small rodent hunter, but she is so gentle with this little baby, and so I just had to take a photo or two of them together, the first one is the normal, sweet "I will groom you" and the second one was.. Oh, wait, mom has cookies and wants ears..
Well, I had better get back to work on the farm. Hope you will enjoy seeing them together.
