Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, everyone!! Animal lovers from as far away as Nebraska suggested the following: Beastie, Bilbo Baggins, Samwise, Fred, Thor, Nero, Caesar, Wooly, Spinach, Otis, Ollie, Fergis, Quigley, Magooster, Jack, Nick, and Lucas. Many of the names (Jack, Lucas, Fred) have already been "taken" by other CAS critters, and unless an animal arrives with name, we try never to duplicate.
Because the two lambs are so bonded and because the "softness" of the names seems fitting, we chose Otis and Ollie.
The tiny Silkie hen who accompanied them has been dubbed Ramona.
And here they are, in all their wonderfulness, destined NOT for a Greek Orthodox Easter dinner plate, which was the plan, but for a full and happy life on a farm. Unfortunately, the photos don't BEGIN to do them justice. As soon as they're out of quarantine, we'll post photos of the threesome frolicking in spring grass and Ramona out scratching in the dirt, happy to be alive...
