The sheep with the stuck bum

February 27, 2009

This morning while starting the daily routine with walking Jingles, I noticed a couple of sheep on the land in front of our house. Nothing special, there are sheep there most of the time. And as usual Jingles walks up to have a sniff. All but one ran away. I then noticed that one of them had its furry bum entangled in low hanging branch of a tree. It was stuck and could not go anywhere.

The sheep was terrified and bounced around like a loony. I first tried to free it with a pair of scissors, however the wool was all turned and twisted into the branch. I got a saw out and cut the branch as close to the sheep as I could, making sure I wasn’t kicked in the face. When freed it ran away quickly with a bit of the branch sticking out like an antenna. So if you see a black faced sheep with a stick hanging from its bum, you know where it’s been….
