Just went out to do a check on lambies. Bad situation. Little lambie was raising the roof with her distress calls. I could hear it before I got to the barn. Alystyne pays no attention. Bigger lambie was nursing well. I tried to put little lambie on the teat, but no luck. Alystyne kept walking away, but still letting the other one nurse. I don't know what else to do. I brought little lambie inside and fed her. She took a LOT of milk, so she was definitely hungry. Way more milk than Marshmallow ever took when she was a newborn lamb. Clearly this girl was HUNGRY! She is quiet as a mouse now, sitting on my lap. I think I have a new house lamb. I really didn't want that. I know it was sweet with Marshmallow but it's a lot of work. Sigh.

Goodness me, she looks like a rabbit...
