Every year at some point or other we find a lamb that our friends did not know existed yet. Most of the time it is when they are not at home, vacation you know. And as we do not have sheep we know nothing about what to do with a new born lamb. We have to call them and get instructions on what to do, we have never lost a lamb yet. 
Well, this year about a week before they left for vacation, I went up to paint with Mrs. Alianello. Mom, Spencer, and Samantha went in the barn to see the lamb (that they did know about) that was born a few days earlier. Low and behold, there was a lamb in the pen with the ewes. Clearly that raised a question. Spencer came in the house and asked if there was supposed to be a lamb in with the ewes and the ram. NO!! It was a very good thing that we happened to be there. They were not planing to go out to the barn until later that night and by then the baby may have been trampled or bludgeoned to death. All was well. There is also a rule about the lamb (I think mom made it up) you find it, you name it. Anyway, Daffodil is alive and doing well.
