3 Brenna 05.10.09 at 9:55 pm: I was gonna check if there was a head-to-body-width rule of cuteness, but seems the rules of cuteness page gets a 404 :<
Either way, I do believe it applies here, even without the ears.
4 Jen 05.10.09 at 10:10 pm: I was wondering if this would show up on CO ever since I spotted it over at the Daily Coyote! This picture literally made me melt into a googly-eyed blithering mess of gibberish. Of course, this was *after* the angel chorus sounded.

Actually, let me rephrase:
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeimabloothybooooooobiddyboobooobooooblaahhhhbiddysheepydoooooobooooowaaaahhhh *brain drips out of ears*
5 Martha in Washington 05.10.09 at 10:10 pm: We’re only allowed ONE SECOND to look at the precious bebeh?! I think it would take a LIFETIME to completely comprehend all of the adorabuhlness!! I mean, look at those eyes and those ears and that nose and those lips and I just want to give him/her and big ol’ smooch right in the middle of that forehead! I loves sheeps!
6 berthaservant 05.10.09 at 10:19 pm: Shreve Stockton is one of my favorite people.
7 biscuithead 05.10.09 at 10:22 pm: Once in a while a photo like this shows up on CO and I simply gasp.
*gasp*
8 Christy 05.10.09 at 10:23 pm: Precious!
9 Illise 05.10.09 at 11:02 pm: thats so cuteeeeeeeeeeee love sheeps and the look on the faceeeeeeeeeeee
10 Aimz 05.10.09 at 11:34 pm: Cute little lambykins! I wish the pic came with sound… I love the sound of little sheep bleats.
11 Skip 05.10.09 at 11:54 pm: S/he looks like s/he’s just… about… to… speak…
12 cafegrrl 05.10.09 at 11:55 pm: absolutely precious.
13 doomchild 05.11.09 at 1:14 am: There I was, working my butt off, sending snappy e-mails and being important. Then, during lunch break this sheep shows up, asking: “Why bother?”
Man, I gotta find a batch of grass to frolic on, and fast.
14 Aelfwyn 05.11.09 at 2:41 am: Think her name must be ‘Meeeeeh-g’!
15 StormCat 05.11.09 at 3:59 am: I don’t know about ya’all…But this little fuzzy looks like she’s asking to be picked up! I mean, look at those eyes!!

*grabs up the little fuzzy gently and whisks her away to play*
16 hon glad 05.11.09 at 4:02 am: Agnus dei.
17 Journey13 05.11.09 at 4:07 am: AWWWWW! I used to care little about sheepzies but just look at those eyes and that face! I wanna see his mother….(I’m gonna ask for permission to adopt him)
18 chanpon 05.11.09 at 4:38 am: I melted when I saw this on her blog. And this is the very reason I can’t eat lamb.
19 Birdcage 05.11.09 at 4:46 am: I wish I had the guts to do with my life what Shreve Stockton did with hers.
20 Cambridge Rat Mom 05.11.09 at 4:58 am: Please, don’t eat me!
21 temperance 05.11.09 at 5:13 am: i literally stopped breathing when i looked at this little lambie. it’s almost too much for my brain to comprehend. was i really in a bad mood this morning? i can’t remember now…
22 Erin K 05.11.09 at 5:20 am: Lambies were my favorite part of life on the farm! They are annerable, and snuggly, and they frolic and bounce around in the sunshine!

(Don’t worry, lamb-the-meat isn’t baby sheep. It’s awkward, obnoxious teenager sheep. I know that might not be too comforting to the most tender-hearted. That’s okay; the world needs the tender-hearted people to remind the rest of us to think with our hearts sometimes.)
23 temperance 05.11.09 at 5:22 am: you know, james herriot- the most amazing vet in the entire world, ever- said that there was nothing cuter on this earth than a baby lamb, that it almost seemed as though God was being unfair because He gave them so much beauty when compared to all the other species of babies in the world- including the human kind…(but he said it much more poetically than that)
24 Jezebel 05.11.09 at 5:27 am: I just got to work, turned on my computer, read my horoscope, opened my favorites list and clicked on CuteOverload, OMG!, and fell off my chair. That is all.
25 Amy 05.11.09 at 5:30 am: I knew there had to be a better reason going to work for getting up this morning. Now I know what the reason is–this little lamb! Life is worth living again!
26 raiu9 05.11.09 at 5:31 am: For my eyes did spot
innocence and purity
in those two black orbs…
27 Brenda 05.11.09 at 5:37 am: Oh my! Simply adorable!
28 jo 05.11.09 at 5:54 am: This not real lamb – this must be stuffed toy!!
29 sheepy 05.11.09 at 5:57 am: I can skip work and class to go frolicking with the sheepies, right? Guys?
30 pyrit 05.11.09 at 6:03 am: Maa-aa–mmy, I want baa-aa-llet lessons!
31 Laieanna 05.11.09 at 6:17 am: Almost bit off my tongue trying to keep from squealing at work. Can’t stand it!
32 Erin K 05.11.09 at 6:59 am: This lamby is so cute! The hair on lambs’ faces is so soft, and their wool is so nubbly!

This is making me homesick. [Packs bags for parents' sheep farm in Iowa.]
33 Mel 05.11.09 at 7:56 am: OMG! this is the cutest lamb i have seen in my life! heaven must be filled with these fluffy darlings. Will it squeak if i poke it?
34 Jimbeaux 05.11.09 at 7:58 am: I beep da nosie!

*beep!*

What a cutie!
35 Katrina 05.11.09 at 8:07 am: OOOOH, how easy it would be to just pick up that young’un and oh, so quietly walk away to have a happy day with a babeh sheepsie. A lovely thought, I guess I’d give it back when it needed its Mommy, but not until then!
36 Kar 05.11.09 at 8:12 am: Sometimes I swear that this site’s purpose is to make me a pleather-wearing vegetarian. I think it’s working.
37 chronicwriter 05.11.09 at 8:16 am: wowie
38 Noelle (the First) 05.11.09 at 8:52 am: Awwwwwwwwwwww! WANT!

(Packs bags and joins Erin K. on her parent’s sheep farm in Iowa)
39 Alice 05.11.09 at 8:53 am: you just know this thing clicks its heels while it frolics. IT CLICKS ITS TINY HEELS.
I have exploded into a cloud of glitter.
40 zeldapie 05.11.09 at 8:59 am: I’m a pleather-wearing vegetarian! Tee hee!

Oooh, check out the PEENKNESS! Peenk noiscile, leeps, ears… Squeeeeeeee!
41 BostonBunny 05.11.09 at 9:18 am: I’m a pleather-wearing vegetarian, too! Guilt-free squeeing!!
42 oni 05.11.09 at 9:33 am: cute, cute baby 8D
43 Kristabelle 05.11.09 at 9:38 am: Soooooo adorable. Just heart meltingly adorable.
44 Shannon 05.11.09 at 9:39 am: One more reason I can’t eat lamb. People can continue to look at me funny.
45 temperance 05.11.09 at 10:07 am: do it Kar! do eet!
46 Amanda 05.11.09 at 10:15 am: OMG what a snuggly little sheep. I’m going to have such a hard time eating lamb after this…
47 Cambridge Rat Mom 05.11.09 at 10:35 am: Progress to pleather-wearing VEGAN!! Even better.
48 hyura 05.11.09 at 11:57 am: this looks like a stuffed animal, for sure.
49 BostonBunny 05.11.09 at 12:14 pm: Cambridge Rat Mom – we’re working on it – yay!
50 Lerrinus 05.11.09 at 3:41 pm: Am I the only one who wants to give this behbeh a kiss between its eyes?
*smooch*
51 louieballoo 05.11.09 at 3:50 pm: have you ever seen lambies go crackers at twilight? it’s the cutest thing – they spring about with all four feets off the ground. springtime is the best time
52 Von Zeppelin 05.11.09 at 4:06 pm: If this guy needs a job, I’ve got a nice, chemical-free lawn that could use nibbling. I’d even pay for first-class air fare from Wyoming for him.
53 Rooanne 05.11.09 at 4:53 pm: This is the picture of innocence.
54 Katrina 05.11.09 at 5:30 pm: Von Zeppelin- We have a beautiful lawn of dandelions, broad blade grasses, chickweed, moss and all manner of happy bugs and birds! YAY for not putting chemicals on our lawns! Hooray, I say!
55 kibblenibble 05.11.09 at 9:07 pm: Aaagh! 9 and 3 earses! And bebeh looks like he’s wearing a leetle grey vestie. Cyute!
56 Subhangi 05.11.09 at 11:13 pm: Awwww, I love his curious & earnest expression!
57 bunnywabbit 05.13.09 at 5:43 am: This right here is why I don’t eat lamb. Yeah, yeah, I know; chickens and cows and pigs are wonderful, too.
58 elmerfudd 05.16.09 at 8:55 pm: Mmmm delicious!
59 Anita 05.19.09 at 5:53 am: The little lamb is SMILING!
