What a very fun wide-ranging set of commentios!
Cuuuute little lambie-pie.

the lamb is adorable – unfortunately, i can’t look at the nub tail without thinking about WHY it’s nubby. they cut the tail off soon after birth, without anesthesia.

our lambs get to keep their long tails, which i think is actually way cuter.

okay I opened CO this morning and did the scroll down and tho I had read and commented on here last night I read Nubile this morning.

[LOL! It's "nubule", a la Daily Coyote, not "nubile". That'd be a very different (though widely available) sort of website. - Ed.]

@Angoospeen- I thought that was his boutros-boutros-ghali.

Very cute little lamb! Please stop with the nuffing about docking tails – look up what “flystrike” does to lambs and you might think the little bit of discomfort when the tail is shortened is worth it. I grew up on a farm and playing with the lambs is my favorite memory!

Yep, they cut the tails off with scissors. I prefer a nice wiggly tail any time.

@Bserv: Rorshach! Snerk!
