Practical Fellow
Sweet Pea is no dummy.
Unfamiliar as our sheep are with cold white flakes falling from the sky, Sweet Pea ventured out into this week’s Big Snowstorm -- "Worst of All-Time!"... "One For the Ages!" according to local TV news -- just long enough to get a face full of chilly white stuff. Sweet Pea seemed to learn quite quickly that this Winter Wonderland thing might appeal to humans who go around singing that they’re “Dreaming of a White Christmas,” but sheep are far too smart to fall for such sentimentality. He retreated back into the barn and watched the snow fall from a respectable distance.
Only the silly man with the camera -- the guy whose pockets were stuffed with Christmas cookies, who had that goofy, sugar-high smile pasted on his face -- only he and TV reporters are crazy enough to be out in that weather!
