Her Name Was 'Lucky'

Posted by Betsy Barron (Chester Springs, PA, United States) on 6 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This lamb was born on Saturday night - the mother rejected it and our neighbors bottle fed it through the night with tremendous hope for her survival. She did not make it, and passed away at 3pm. I'm posting her picture because I'm sad and I think maybe if I look at this long enough, it will make me smile, just for a second.

We will miss her.
