I had two pet lambs as a child... Huebert and Humphrey
I loved them to bits...my parents hated them. Humphrey was always sick, and they spent a fortune on vet bills for him, he eventually succombed to whatever illness it was that ailed him.

Huebert was lovely but also cost a small fortune in vet bills I am told, and after all that trouble was run down by my dad in the driveway It was sad.

Anyway, my parents didn't replace them lol. Dad was a pig farmer, so after that, we stuck to the piglets.

I do remember them been very affectionate, lovely and didn't seem to mind me - they never bit me or anything crazy. Think I would still rather a pig though.
