run, little lambie, run!


Actually, this adorable lamb is in no danger of becoming anyone's Easter feast. For one thing, he is too old now, not a little lamb anymore. He's a tough old boy! Last I heard, he was a studly companion to the loveliest lady lambs on the island. His name is Charisteas, after football striker, # 9 on the Greek team. Yianni got him after he was the rejected by his mother, the newborn had to be nursed for awhile, one of my favorite jobs. No, not that way! He had milk in an Olympic beer bottle with a rubber nipple. I just loved this lambie baby. But when his teeth came out and he was biting through the nipples then he was turned into pasture to fend for himself with the others.
