Back in late May I went in for some physical therapy to my therapists office and guess what I saw? A 2-week old baby lamb! Who would of thought? Oh my gosh, I was totally surprised and wow…was she a cutie pie!
The owner of the little lamb told us that the lamb’s mother had twins by C-section at a local vet and mommy didn’t make it through the surgery. So, the owner adopted this little newborn lamb and has been feeding it (lamb milk by bottle) and the little lamb wears disposable diapers! See, they are pink…she is a girl!
You can tell that she thinks she is a human and is very loveable and people friendly already! She left me hold her and she gave me a ton of little lamb kisses! She was super soft and very well behaved too!
From what I understand, they are going to try to train her to be a physical therapy aid…just something that patients can “love” upon while getting their therapy, especially the little kids who go there.
Anyway, I just had to share because she is well….so darn cute! After spending an afternoon with her, I wouldn’t mind getting myself another adorable little pet!
Sad story but what an inspiration and good thing that came out of it. I love the idea of them training the lamb to help with therapy. Kids and adults need all the comfort, love, and smiles when they are sick or hurting. This is just one thing to give them something to look forward to at therapy. I bet it gave you a warm feeling. My grandson is big on true animal tales, and I will pass this story on to him. Please keep us updated if you learn anything else about how the training is going.
From what I understand is the mom labored for a good 4 hours or so and they realized she had twins in there and the one blocking the birth canal was sideways. They had a Vet come out and do an emergency C-section but mom didn’t survive. Both twins (both girls) are doing well.
It’s so sad to hear the mom didn’t make it 🙁 What a wonderful person to take this baby in. I thought that was a diaper I saw.
I never thought about a lamb being a physical therapy aid, but she is soft, cuddly and lovable. I would think everyone would love to touch her and would feel comforted. Itis a great idea. The pink diaper is so cute.
I think she’d make a very good therapist’s helper. Keep patients calm.
Oh my goodness, I am absolutely in love with this baby lamb. Such a cutie, and I would just love to pet her! Cute pink diaper!
I have heard of dogs being helpful in therapy but never a little baby lamb. Hey if it works and helps people then Im all for it. Im sure the kids love it too. Animals and people always go together well. thanks for the picture
