Smudge was born a couple days ago, but he was just too special to lump in with the rest of the lambs yesterday.

No, he isn’t registerable and yes, he has WAY to much black on his body, but I love the smile on his face.  He had a sister, but she was born dead.  I’m not sure what happened and I hate it when that happens, but I feel very fortunate that her brother was ok. 

He made quite the impression out in the pasture today and Liberty wasn’t sure what to think of him.

At one point, he got a little lost and was sure Magoo was his mama.

Luckily his mom came to the rescue and I’m sure Magoo was relieved that he wasn’t going to have babysitting duties for long term.

I ran across the name – Smudge – when I was doing some fiber research the other day and I knew that I would know the lamb it belonged to as soon as they were born.  Poor guy – all of his spots were smeared together!  His cute face makes up for it and look at all of that black fiber 🙂
