It is a rainy, sad Valentines Day. One of the sheep developed a bad case of pregnancy toxemia over the weekend. We had the vet out Sat. morning, and we were giving her the propylene glycol and penicillin shots. She died this morning. It was too late to get her to the vet and get the twins out. She was my favorite sheep - beautiful brown/black fleece and a matriarchal, friendly disposition. For Valentines Day, my husband buried my sheepie, in the rain. I couldn't help after a 3 night shift stretch with the 4th to go tonight. My daughter also came home from school, sick today.
We shared cards and candy this morning. I bought my husband a rose on the way home from work, and a small oreo cookie cake. It made him very happy. He put the rose in a vase and put it on the table, and he shared two little bites of his cookie cake with me before putting it away for later.
