Meet Monty… and Helen, who writes with such brilliant intelligence that I can’t resist sharing her site. Have a gander over to see this wonderful post, it doesn’t disappoint.
Monty
Monty was born three weeks ago, but his mother rejected him. So, instead of being outside with this lot:
Four baby lambs, two three weeks old, two a fortnight old.
Monty is living in the house….and spending more time in the garden as he grows increasingly independent.
His mother and another ewe gave birth to twins on the same day – and both mothers rejected the males; butting them away quite roughly, so we took them into the house.
One little chap was just too weak to make it, and we thought we had lost Monty too on the second morning. We looked into his box expecting the worst…but a little grizzled head was lifted slightly, and Monty battled on.
Leo spent endless time getting him to take milk – he had no idea of sucking, so Leo rehydrated him first with water around his mouth, then rubbing milk…

Wonderful post. Great site.
Helen is a marvelous writer. Great site indeed. 🙂
THat is a wonderful story of Monty. Hope he gets the couch!
Looks like he’s working his way to it as we speak! Isn’t he adorable! 🙂
A touching story by an obviously very human soul.
She’s terrific and yes it’s a very touching story. If you haven’t connected with Helen’s site yet, she’s a quality writer and brilliant woman. I think she’d be a nice match for you and vice versa. Happy weekend to you and Marianne. (& your fur babies 😉 )
Ah Monty, no one likes rejection. 😦 And then he is saved and loved! 🙂 What better ending could there be to that????
Well said, Colleen, well said. He sure does look content taking over their home. 😉 Happy weekend to you and yours and thanks for all the incredibly great posts you’ve been putting out! 🙂
Why thank you Paulette!
Thank you for always visiting with me and being so encouraging. Sometimes I need that! 🙂 (okay, ALL the time I need that.)
Me too. 😉
Paulette, I went over and introduced myself to Monty. As always the stories you share, find many ways to touch our hearts. Thank you, Bill
I saw you popped over there and it made me smile. I thought you’d like that one. And, Helen is an absolutely terrific writer and endearing woman to chat with, another very down to earth cyber buddy, like you my friend. Be well and have a great weekend. 🙂
Looks like Monty is in good hands!
He sure does. I just love how content he looks. It’s such a win-win to be able to help an animal, they give back so much. For me, no better food for my heart. Know you agree, being another animal lover. 🙂
My goodness. This is a delightful story. Animals are so cute but not the rejecting mothers.
It is a delightful story and yes so cute! I never understand why a mother rejects its young, it’s a sad mystery. Have a good weekend, Tess. 🙂
You too, Paulette. May it be a relaxing and invigorating weekend. 😛
🙂
What a cutie–loved Monty’s story!
He is adorable and I just wanted to reach through the screen and give him a big hug. I bet you’d have a lot of fun hanging with him. 😉
Thank you for posting the Monty story here….and I’m blushing at your kind words!
My words are a mere reflection at the kindness being demonstrated to this adorable little (well maybe not so little) furry friend. It’s just too endearing a story not to share, plus your site in general is one of my favorites and I’m happy to share that kind of quality writing with others. Have a good weekend and give Monty & Leo a good boy pat from admirers in So. Calif.
They’re both decidedly chuffed by that! As am I by your opinion of my blog! Many thanks….
Now I turn to what i have been dreading…phoning customer service in Mexico so that a chap whose English is about as good as my Spanish tries to explain to me what my dear husband has done to his computer THIS TIME……
Sounds like the beginning of your next post. Good luck with translation and what’s lost therein. Hugs!
Of course my like got erased! This is wonderful. Am now following. Thank you Paulette~
Oh that’s great. She’s a marvelous writer with an incredible gift for saying it like it is, very refreshing. I love when good people connect, enjoy! Hugs to you. 🙂
Oh that brings back joys and wonders working with animals in that situation.
Yisraela
It sure does, joys and wonders for sure! Hugs!
Sweet innocent animal. How we want to save them all.
So true. I was talking to my cousin last night about animal abuse and my heart sank. We then talked about an animal rescue, just one simple sweet life saving rescue, and it lit me up. It’s so amazingly wonderful how one good story changes everything. Thank goodness for people like Leo and Helen in this world. Hugs to you Sheri. 🙂
Monty is quite a character!
He sure is, Clowie. He landed himself with a great family. It’ll be fun to follow his growing and experiences. 😉
