This Perfect Creature Is A Velcro Lamb

The Dodo

Rescue lamb talks whenever she hears her mom's voice and plants herself on mom's yoga mat. We talked to Olive's mom, Erin, about how she's grown up but still comes running into the house to visit!

00:00She was a triplet, and the mom rejected her, and I was like, yeah, of course I'll take

00:09her.

00:10So, kind of did a thing.

00:18She was only four days old.

00:20That's when we had to bottle feed her from day one every three hours.

00:24At that point, she would get a bath every day, because just like a newborn.

00:30And she would come to work with me.

00:32She would be part of my coffee routine.

00:38But I loved every single second of it.

00:40She would go outside during the day as she got older.

00:42So it was like her daycare.

00:43We're going to go meet your future family.

00:47Come on.

00:50Hi.

00:52You guys look so massive in comparison.

00:55Then at night, again, it was still too cold for her to be out there overnight.

00:59She would come in and sleep in here.

01:04When Olive was little, specifically, when I would sit on the couch with her and we'd

01:09watch our shows together, she would love to, I guess you could call it maybe groom me.

01:15I was studying to get my yoga teacher training.

01:18And of course, Olive, who has to be by my side 24-7, couldn't give me one ohm breath

01:24without her being underneath my feet.

01:27What are you doing?

01:30How am I supposed to do yoga?

01:33Huh?

01:34This is not for you.

01:37Are you stuck?

01:39What are you doing?

01:49When Olive first lived outside full-time, that was quite the process.

01:59I love how cuddly my lamb is, but why do I have to have this end?

02:03Why, Olive?

02:06Can you do a little switcheroo?

02:09Difficulties of walking.

02:13Oh my gosh.

02:15Just like, how am I supposed to get anywhere?

02:28You're not following me in the house.

02:31Chow the other way.

02:32Like, chow as in goodbye.

02:33I think that's what that means, too.

02:35Well, you know what?

02:36I don't know what to tell you.

02:37I don't have many snacks in here anymore.

02:41Get your potassium.

02:43I mean, two and a half years later, if she hears my voice,

02:46you hear her loud baa.

02:52They come running to the gate, all of them.

02:54It's like she's announcing that I'm home, and then they all come running.

02:59I think I didn't expect she to be so affectionate, so loving.

03:07I didn't expect to bond with her as much as I had.

03:13I didn't expect to bond with her as much as I had.
