I don't know that it's very common but it would help keep them warm. We always had ours in a box in front of the fire - at least for the first week or two.

I know that many Italian surnames were given according the profession of the family, the ancestral origins, if they were noble or simple people, as Maluse correctly said "nomen est omen".

@MALUSE It was the same in Italy Fabbro, Ferraro, Fattore, Massaro, Mezzadro, Medico, Speziale, Araldo, Console, o Almirante... those are pretty common and they all come from professions. Some comes from names of cities: Milani, Madelli, Bresciani.

The lady that the 'Lambkins' were those who brought the lambs in when they were orphaned but I couldn't find any information to substantiate that.

@popciclecold If you've never had the chance to be with animals, then they would be scary, especially big animals like horses.

I actually learned about pronking about a year ago when I was at Disney's Animal Kingdom them park. One of the attractions there is a huge safari trek where a truck takes you through various wide open animal habitats. As we were driving through the African plains section, there were several gazelles that started pronking. The driver explained what it was and the word it was called. It was the coolest thing.

@JudyEv I'm sure that was very exciting for you to see deer in France! I would be giddy with excitement if I saw kangaroos in the wild on a visit to Australia.

As you now, I'm not used to deer but late afternoon in France we saw three pronking their way through a crop. Very cool indeed. I was jumping up and down in excitement.

It was funny to see Herc pronking. He was usually quite staid. And be careful - don't be a bull in a china shop while you're pronking. I'm not sure you can do it with only two feet.

Orphan lambs find it hard to keep warm so the jumpers will help. It is winter here at the moment and so it is cold, especially at night.
