But the sheep wool appeal the conviction saying it is mutton but pork barrel politicians using him to knit a web of deceit to evict the sheep to make more room for pigs.

Sheep sentenced to 3 years in prison for killing a woman

WASHINGTON (TND) — A sheep was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison after killing a woman in Africa. The sheep was arrested in South Sudan earlier this month after attacking a woman, who later died from her injuries, according to MSN. "The ram attacked by hitting her ribs and the old...

Ha - - what a world - they put a sheep in jail and we can't jail theives? Interesting. Wonder who represented the sheep in court? Good news for sheep. BETTER than entering the food chain. Wonder if being in prison will be a SHEAR experience for him.

Butt, the ram is spending 3 years in a military camp. Hope he doesn't drop the soap.

Not terribly related but makes me smile every time my wife tells the story.

As a child, they had "Lammie", a baby lamb. Turns out after it grew up that Lammie was a Rammie. I don't think it was a house pet per se' but it lived at their house (of which they also had a pool)

Turns out that Lammie was a fine, adorable pet......until..... you accidently petted it on the head. This is when its instincts took over and it thought it was Ram time, ready to head butt.

Fast forward. All the kids are splashing in the pool. Their grandmother drove up to visit. Lammie the Ram went over to visit/greet Grandma..... Grandma not knowing all the animal rules, patted it on the head. Which then caused it to lower its head a bit.....back up.... and BOOM, started to chase Grandma around the yard thinking it was GAME ON!

Grandma finally jumped into the pool to escape the head butts from Lambie the Ram. Wife says that the kids had screamed out to Grandma to NOT pet it on the head but it was too late.

This sounds like an SNL skit. If only Lorne Michaels still knew what comedy was.

Maybe the sheep will be able to get its law degree while being rehabilitated in prison. Then it really will be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Thank you. That's our sweet little Chloe who's resting in peace with the others atop the hill with the panoramic view up/down the lake. Amazing how three years later the void of her absence can still bring a tear.

She's an American Eskimo.

I am sorry to hear that. It is really hard when they are gone. I always have a Brittany.. When I lost the last one, Sammie, she was 16. I couldn't believe how many times I would turn around to talk to her AFTER she was gone. I guess it is easy to forget how often we look for and talk with them. We always get another one after one is lost. My wife says "if that didn't happen, we would never have saved and known Lulu, the next one. That is Sammie in the picture with me. The good news -- they had a great life, had purpose, and will never be forgotten. They teach us and give so much. Best Wishes.

Dogs are my hobby. I have a springer that is my bird dog and a standard poodle that is a truffle dog. Recently we have been doing doggy daycare for a Rhodesian Ridgeback. The neighbors work 3-14s, and the poor dog does not take well to being confined 14 hours a day while they are at work. My two are females and he is a male, so they get along well. They drop him in our kennel at 6 AM and we bail him out when we get up.

I have a lazy man's philosophy of dog training. I keep training sessions short, 5 minutes or less, but do them 2 or 3 times a day. The dogs love the attention and grow to insist that I do the training sessions. Now if the same philosophy just worked on the wife...

I wouldn’t, either. I’m sure that everybody involved appreciates you taking him.

Well in this same vein, in California bees can be fish. Yep.

The Completely Logical Reason Why a Bee Can Be Considered a Fish Now

At least in California.

It's something to do in my retirement. I have a thing for intelligent dogs that started when I was 9 and my parents brought home a border collie. My current springer is the finest field bred springer I have ever met in my life, and I have met several. She will be my last field dog, and there's nothing like going out on a high note. The standard poodle is legendary for its intelligence, and the Rhody was bred by crossing with Rhodesian wild dogs that had a true tribal culture. Teaching them all is a matter of "one and done." Every dog needs a job.

Hi Larry. He is a luck puppy - and you have a lot of company for him. Since they all get along. He may have more fun at your house than when he goes home. Ha
