Oh! They are so adorable!

A frequent reaction when I show photographs of the new babies at work. Only instead of grandchildren, I show photos of my new lambs. Yes, Navajo-Churro lambs are cute and so adorable, just as any breed of lamb is. The difference is Navajo-Churro lambs know they are cute and adorable.

Aria, pictured here with her mom, Diva, is less than seven days old. The guard dog and the male barn cat turn to putty whenever Aria gets close to them. Even Hussa, our recently purchased ram who arrived after Aria's birth, nuzzles her gently through the fence. Yes, Aria knows she is cute and adorable, thank you very much for noticing. Even the guard mare, Ruby, has noticed how cute and adorable. Why else would a half-wild mustang allow a lamb to nibble on her fetlock without kicking it into the next county? And people wonder why I am going gray.
