One month birthday for Buttercup!

Yeah! Buttercup is 30 days old today.
Last night she was so full of piss and vinegar, she couldn’t even stay on her feet. I was topping off the water bucket as I watched her running and bucking in the pen. Mama was watching from a distance as if to say… you play, I’m too tired and would rather just chew my cud.
She made a dash into the shelter area, around that and back out, quickly cutting to the left only to slip and skid, all four feet flying out from under her. When she got up to look around, she had a really silly look on her face, as if to say… Yeah, I’m too fast for anyone… you stupid sheep aren’t supposed to trip me like that!
I’ve been working to get my hands on her more reliably, but haven’t really gotten her full attention. I can rub Sweetie Pie’s forehead and nose, being very careful to stay clear of her horns. Darn those flies! She goes to chase them off her withers, and if my hands are in the way… oh well… that’s gonna leave a mark!
