Hi Group,
I joined BYH about two years when I was given an orphan lamb to raise. Raising her was an experience to say the least, but one I would not have traded for anything. All of you with BYH were a great support to me. Sadly, even with all the TLC we gave our lamb, she died suddenly when she was 6 months old.
I tried today to get back on the forum under my previous user name, but was unable to - I was ZoeytheLamb. Our Zoey was a Gulf Coast Native breed sheep, and she had been born with a number of health challenges. The vet determined that she had an internal abscess.
Well, fast forward to today, and I am again a "mom" to another adorable bottle baby who is named Flora, and she is 11 days old. I have had her since she was 4 days old. She is also a Gulf Coast Native breed sheep. She is healthy in every way and cute as a button.
My dilemma is that I live inside our town's limits and we are not allowed to have sheep. So Flora will need a home. What I'm hoping to find on the BYH is someone who will take her and raise her as part of their family. I mean no disrespect, but I can't just give her to anyone. I have to be sure she will not be slaughtered for food. She has only known people since she was born, and she is at the moment living in our laundry room and kitchen.
I would keep her with us always if we lived on a farm.
I welcome advice on how to go about finding her a good home.
Thank you in advance!
Sandy
