Baby Beverly

 

Beverly is a Leicester Longwool lamb who's mother was quite old and blind and needed some help taking care of him.  He was the result of an accidental breeding and was a surprise.  Luckily a great guardian dog, Beverly, stepped in and adopted the little lamb until his shepherds got home. 
Baby  Beverly is named after this wonderful guardian.

He clocked about 10 minutes "work" throughout the afternoon and over three hours sleeping.

 

However, he doesn't always have it so good.

Sweet baby.

The end of a big day.

 

Sad post script - We are not sure why, but Beverly passed away just after his one month birthday.  He was the sweetest little lamb and so missed by me and everyone else who knew him.  A friend  wrote  this note:  
"Think of all the people he made happy on his goodwill lamb tour--he brought a lot of joy to everyone he met.  I believe God sends some of us extra special animals who don't have a lot of time on this earth and we give them all that extra love they need before they go."
