 Maaa-maaa
(AKA Bijou)used to live near Journey's End, and one day Florence heard her nearby, crying in distress.
She had given birth to 2 babies who were only about 5 hours old. According to the vet who
saw her later, she only had enough milk for one of the babies due to scar tissue in her
udder, so she instinctively rejected the smaller one,
Baaabette, in order to try to save
the other, Baaarney.
Baaabette was nursed through her early days at Journey's End with frequent bottle
feedings of sheep formula. Maaa-maaa and Baaarney would watch from a distance, maybe
a little jealous but too shy to come over.
Maaa-maaa has had surgery to have her udder removed due to the scar
tissue. She's still shy and prefers to watch visitors from a distance.
