Today there is an air of sadness around the cottage, we lost one of our pet lambs this morning. He was one of our first, we had come to know him very well and this morning he just wasn't right. Following a vet visit he passed away.
The sensible, practical side of me knows these things happen and that you can't win them all, but my emotional, sentimental side is very sad, upset and asking a lot of what ifs. But the fact is we did our very best and he had a lovely, if very short life!
On the whole working with the animals is an absolute pleasure and its always amazing to see them bring new life into the world but like everything in life bad things sometimes happen.
It's hard isn't it?
