   • 2008, Karen J. Hasley, Waiting for Hope, page 226:

     Your lambies aren't lambies anymore, but they're pining for you just the same, and I'll drop them off on my way back if you want.

   • 2011, Mary Beth Temple, The Secret Language of Knitters, page 113:

     The part I don't like about sheep and wool festivals? The part where the little lambies aren't considered part of the fiber-bearing aspect but as part of the snack-food aspect. Lambies on a stick or ground up into sausage are not nearly as much fun to imagine as gamboling lambies waiting happily to be shorn.

   • 2014, Lee Maddaford, True Enlightenment, page 29:

     They are misguided by misinformation, and talking the Undisputed Truth is a physical means of weaning these little lambies from their childish and sheep like behaviour.
