Packin' Lambs

According to Sender-Inner Goodwin D., when it's time to move sheep and lambs to a new grazing field, a donkeh helps out with the moving process. The lamb-o-pack ensures no lamb is left behind... LOL

I don't think I've ever seen sheepsies without docked tails before.

Lambies look mighty cosy there.

I want a donkey with pockets. I never wanted anything more.

holy crap i'd love to be all nestled in a lamby pouch. all warm and heated by another body. It'd like returning to the womb. Or at least I would expect so :)

Anyone else just want to do a soft kronsche on the tender white ears?

That's awesome! WE must watch out for these lambs, they are smarter than they first appeared it seems...

When I first checked this picture, I came on all bleary eyed, and it really looked like that 'Pa' in 'packin' was an 'Fu' and my thought was "wow, they sure are pushing the limits with this one!"

Matt

now I know, I got up too early on a Sat. and I AM dreaming, counting lambs.

I'm with Michelle. I want a donkey with pockets! Especially if lambies are included.

Amber
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 04:37 AM

This is, like... UNBELIEVABLY cute. I'm not sure how long I stared at the picture thinking there was no way I could be possibly be seeing what I thought I saw.

Made my day!

Have you seen the daycare workers who take the babies out in strollers with 4 or 6 seats? That's what this reminds me of--Miss Donkey out for a walk with her charges.

So very, very weird.
I simply love it.

Barbara
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 05:23 AM

They have probably been put there to avoid being eaten by something like a fox.

Did the shepherd get redundancy?

Alison
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 05:54 AM

Ok, I think this is the cutest thing I have seen on CO EVER. Oh my god, this is INSANE.

Beauregard
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 06:01 AM

Squeeee! This is fantastic.
When I was a nursing student 31+ years ago, the nursery had a garment that could be put over the nurse's head so she could pack babies out in case of a fire. I kid you not!

Yitzysmommie
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 06:29 AM

That donkey has been lam(b)inated!

Faye
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 06:38 AM

I wonder if I could wear one of those and carry a 7 year old and a 15 year old?

hahahahahaha

Carrie
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 06:40 AM

Does anyone else remember that children's story about a bunch of farm animals that start a band? The lambies look like backup singers to me!
Oooh la la la, ooh la la la...

What shnuzzly long ears they have!

Cheryl Johnson
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 06:55 AM

I just checked my pockets and none of them have lambs. Wardrobe gap! Where can I order this garment, complete with woolies? Can I get half black lambs and half white please? The donkey is fine as is...

way cooler than the fanny pack.

No, lams on the donkey. :P

Theresa
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 07:51 AM

PS are there also three lambs on the other side of Mr. Donkeypants? You know you've got to keep the oad even, or he'll capsize.

Theresa
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 07:53 AM

Yitzysmommie: I know you're not kidding. I worked in a hospital for a summer and the nurses demonstrated the baby-pocket apron. Newborns are really like large potatoes.

Newborns are really like large potatoes.

LOL. I never thought about emergency baby evacuation, but that makes sense. How interesting.

 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 08:18 AM

Is there a forth one hiding in the very front? I see a bulge in the pocket but no fluffy ears...

Pscaley
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 08:40 AM

It looks like there is something in the first pouch by the donkeys head. Is it sooo small, we can't see it? I WANNA SEE, I WANNA SEE !!!

Dianne
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 08:45 AM

I was gonna say six pack and then realized they come in the much more economical 8 pack.

Annie

This is inevitably true. A NorthWest Community in Colorado where the grazing of sheep in the high Rockies use this technique as sink holes and all kinds of things are actually treturous area for a bummer lamb. Too many lambs end up orphans and these are wonderful ways of helping out. I have even seen the Dogs adopt and keep track of a lamb or two. They are all one big happy family.

Dudes..So obvious this is a Photoshop! Don't believes this.
The donkeh is really carrying kittehs.

How was your day hon?
I was ok until the packs got to full and they started kicking and screaming and finally I had to run al ittle scared the little s**** and then thank good they just became heavy lumps.

Honey how many times do I have to tell you do that in the begining and they you will not have that problem?
Yeah I know dear but it breaks up the day.........

leah b.
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 09:15 AM

Oh now, that is just too cute, a lamb tote on the donkey. Makes sense to me. If they have to move the sheep around, and there's a whole bunch of baby lambs, this would be the easiest and quickest way to get them all going. Eight lambs (the pouch has four compartments) on a donkey makes for speedy transportation. Very cute!

DL
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 09:55 AM

Jess e, the story you're thinking of is "The Brementown Musicians." And you're right, these lambies would be great backup singers! "Oh-Baaa-Dee, Oh-Baaa-Dah, Life goes oh-hon, Baa baa baa baa Life goes on!"

Check out the serene look of enjoyment on lamb 1's face.

I suspect teh donkey wouldn't take any guff from a lambie-interested wolf or coyote either! A definite overlord of cuteness!

Hey, that's it! Meg is the Cuteness Overlord! Tee hee!

uhm... Patty P, did you just call Meg a donkey? (I mean, they are both utterly cute but...) =P

Lord have mercy, this is cute. I love the blissful looks of relaxation on the little lambie faces.

My mom has one of those on her couch. Guess she is misusing it-- 'cause she keeps magazines and remotes in there. I'll be sure to tell her!

I'm the sender-inner--this photo was taken by my friend Angela who lives in a village outside of Torino, Italy. It's real. I assume there are four more lambs on the other side--I can ask her.

Goodwin D.

So that makes the donkey a---nanny?

mrs fonebone
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 01:38 PM

Bless you, Goodwin D! This totally made my day. Look at the earses on the lambkinses. The one closest to the front (third from left) looks like he's smilin' at us. Awwwww.

OMG, no way! Too cute!

Karen
 |  Oct 06, 2007 at 10:29 PM

jess e., I think the name of that story, where the animals have a band, is called the Bremen town Musicians. They could tote the smaller animals this way. And as a music teacher, I'm thinking that this pouch system would be a great way to transport instruments, stands, etc., too! They could go on tour - next stop Hamburg!

Rebec
 |  Oct 07, 2007 at 01:34 AM

Sabrina, your mom has a *lamb-toting donkey* on her *couch*? And just how is she misusing it?

Theresa
 |  Oct 07, 2007 at 05:50 AM

The Bremen Musicians is a German folk tale, and folk art motif. It's especially cute because the art always depicts the moment when the animals become the town heroes by scaring some robbers away. The dog stands on the donkey, the cat stands on the dog, and the rooster stands on the cat, so they're all stacked up, and yelling their heads off. It's a very CO scenario. ;)

Here's the bronze statue in the actual town of Bremen:

where was this photo taken? Cute as it is, does the USD know when those lambs were born, microchipped and moved? And the donkey, too! Under the NAIS, scenes like this will soon be extinct. See nonais.org for more info on the most ridiculous program that will put more surveillance on people like these then on illegals, drug dealers or child molesters. Just so corporate ag and factory farms can have a free ride to sell globally!

yes sir, yes sir, three bags full...

Joan Carlson
 |  Oct 07, 2007 at 09:55 AM

Let me clarify. These are ITALIAN lambs and donkey. Not under the jurisdiction of the USD. If they were American lambs, they wouldn't even be outside--they'd spend their short lives in a tiny stall being stuffed with corn. And yes, they're lambs, not goats. Do we even have any donkeys in this country, outside of petting zoos?

Goodwin D.

WHEEEENNN IS THEIR GOING TO BE A NEW POSTTTTT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i need a diversion from cleaning

They have these in the nursery at hospitals. If there's an emergency, all the workers strap one on and fill it with babies!

Sarah Ann

OMG!! I have to have one of those! Filled with lambs of coarse....

Cozytailmom
 |  Oct 07, 2007 at 04:34 PM

Goodwin D. There's a donkey what lives on my street in Virginia. It has nine pony friends. Clearly I should knock on his peeps' door and DEMAND that they get him some lambs to love.

That's...that's just unreal. I can't even imagine why someone might want to back up some baby goats to go.

You know, just in case you need to snorgle some ears on the long trip you have ahead of you.

my response would be:
