Brought to you by the SHEEP at Rikki’s Refuge !!!
There is one day of the year we absolutely hate. Can YOU guess what day that is? It’s not always the same day each year. I think that’s cus the hoomans want to surprise us and trick us. That’s not very nice, is it?
I think Doug might be up to something, he’s acting a bit strange this morning. What could it be?
Yup, I was right. Doug gave us extra special nummys and just like the sheep we are, we lined up and followed him into the barn. Then he shut the gates behind us. WHY?
HAIRCUT DAY!!! NO NO NO we hate this day !!! Not fair. The hooman who comes and takes our hair away says we have to stay in the barn over night. That’s cus he says we have to be dry when he comes in the morning to steal our hair. We’re going to worry about this all night, and we’re going to kick the walls and the gate and try to break out. Our hooman, Doug will keep checking up on us all night and talking to us trying to keep us clam and not letting us hurt ourselves or each other. I guess that’s nice. But it’d be nicer if he let us out. Don’t YOU think?
Just about the time the sun comes up, here comes that wool stealing hooman. And one by one, he grabs us, makes us sit on our butts, and cuts off all our wool. At least it doesn’t take but about 3 minutes each.
And then we are naked !!!
WOW …. that kind of feels good !!!! Have YOU ever worn your long underwear months and months and never taken it off? Even on days it gets warm, or even hot, in the spring? You’d feel good to finally take it off before summer I bet!!! So do we !!!
AND it rained today !! Don’t YOU feel good when you can stand in the rain and wash off all the grime that’s gotten down in your long undies all year?
How do YOU like my summer hair cut?
I do have one problem. Well maybe two. Can you help me? Do you have green trading papers? We don’t have any, and it’s really hard to get a job when you have four hooves and say bahhhhhh. Doug says we now gotta PAY for our haircuts. It’s really not much for each one of us. Less than $9 green papers each. With 37 of us we have to find $325 and we have to find it QUICK before that wool stealing man goes to the bank to cash the check. YIKES, I’ll be in big trouble if he gets there before YOU help me get some green papers !!!!!
And …. if you have an extra bit of green papers …. maybe you could donate $20 green papers so we can pay for our hair cuts AND get some delicious sweet feed !!! $11 green papers will buy us each of us enough for the week in the summer, cus when the grass grows we have lots of that too !!!
Thank you so much for helping me and my followers …..
Love, Sherman C. Artiodactyla
