The First Lamb

My family has always known about my obsession with lambs and sheep, but now the rest of you have caught on too, since they've been popping up all over the place in the nursery.  While I've always had quite a collection, there's always been one that was more special than the rest.  One that came long before the others, and maybe started all of this madness.

Timothy.

As seen in the center of the picture below, he was never far away from me when I was growing up, and slept with me every night.

And now after a few years of retirement, he's joined me again.  With a new generation on the way, he has a new army of lambs to lead! 

(And yes, I realize he might not be the most attractive lamb out there, but hush.  He's amazing)
