The Indignity

Well, as Becca said, it happened...flattened, attempted poisoning, cut to the quick and insulted. All because I have a very special fleece. And it took then two tries !!!

Benjo, they did all the vet stuff first so it wouldn't take all day...and several sheep really did need special care...you know how Corrie limps...

I thought she was faking until they brought Dr. John out...the shepherds are so cheap they wouldn't bring him out if it wasn't a real problem..

Dummy..the shepherds are NOT cheap...most shepherds don't bother to call the vet when they have a lame sheep....

They did spend a lot of time taking care of her and she is walking much better now....they had a blue boot on her for a while...we all stood around and looked at it...

Speaking of hooves, the Crone has a big blue boot on her hoof too..one of the back ones...what happened, Becca ?

She broke a leg, Benny..that's why she hasn't been out here....same thing as Fern when she couldn't walk..the bring her food and water and move her when they need too...

ummmm..Becca ? I like the Crone...are they gonna put her down ??? I'd be sad...

Naw, Benny - they keep shepherds until they collapse....her leg will heal and she'll be back in the new barn singing to us...

Speaking of which, the new barn is very cool...NOT that they have allowed us into it...we are out here baking in the sun and the new barn which has lots of room, is closed off....they keep saying it needs lights and water...WHAT ???...they can't add lights and water and still give us shade ??? We have water and we sleep at night.....why does a sheep need lights ...I post my wisdom in the daylight...

Benny here...never quite sure what they are thinking, or IF they are thinking...
