A friend of a friend of a friend was looking for a lamb for a live nativity scene during Christmas Eve services.
"Do you have any lambs?"
I've sold all of this year's lambs except one. She is 9 months old and a good 100 pounds. I'm pretty sure she'd object to leaving her flock and playing the part of meek and mild during church services.
The lamb is the one in the center. Like how the spotted-nose ewe on the left obliged to my "down in front" command.
Sheep are flock animals and they don't like to be separated.
"Do you think you can get any lamb to be still during services?" I ask.
"Maybe if it's a day old," she said. "Know of anyone that lambs at this time of year?"
"Not on purpose," I said.
We discussed other animals that could stand in for lambs. A kid goat? Again, no one has young kids at this time of year.
We settled on a Maltese dog. It is white, small and would sit quietly through church services.
