SheepGirl's Journal - Photos of the sheep 4/25

[CochinBrahmaLover=)]

The cats have killed four or five rodent-like creatures and left them around the sheep pens. I have been wondering for the longest time what they were (the last one I found was from about a week ago) and I finally remembered to google it. Turns out they're northern short-tailed shrews. I've heard of a shrew, but I never knew what one was They're ugly little critters and my dog, Maggie, went out to feed with me and she didn't see one on the ground so she stepped on it and all it's guts came out And apparently they're venomous, but not enough to kill or hurt a human? Kind of creepy if you ask me!

Their prolly venomous like a mole or komodo dragon - bacteria is really what it is

CBL, could be. The Web site just said they were venomous...but they didn't say in what way.

I'm pretty much outta room on my uploader thing here on BYH, so I joined PhotoBucket so I can upload all the good photos I take. You can check out my photography under my 'Website' below my name to the left.

Looking at the photos I recently took, I noticed that Lady Gaga has bi-colored nose...how cool! I don't recall ever seeing it on a sheep before; I've seen it on cattle, though.

Yep, we use electric fence wire too. It's nice and easy to bend, and if you do it just right it's easy to break off pieces w/o cutters.

I have applied to soo many places (even McDonald's) and nobody has contacted me back to offer me a job. But our vet for our cats/dogs is hiring a vet/kennel assistant so I'm taking my resume over there tomorrow So let's hope it goes well...

I dropped my resume off and now it's just a waiting game. My parents have been taking our critters there since the 80s (even though the current vet just bought the place a couple years ago) so I hope that helps

Still haven't heard back from the vet yet...so maybe I didn't get the job

Anyway, I was eating oatmeal this morning for breakfast...you know, the awesome Dinosaur Egg/Brown Sugar flavor Well I ate about half of it and then I decided I was full, so I contemplated throwing it out. But then a light bulb went off in my head and I went outside and fed it to my sheep! Ciqala and Paulie were scared of the bowl but Ali walked right up to me and demanded to see what was in it. She kept trying to get a taste of it but it kept getting in her nose But once she got the taste she gobbled it all down in like five seconds.
