heres a weird story that pic reminded me about. i must have been about 11 or 12. my mom used to have a shrink that would come to our house for her sessions. although we lived in the philly burbs it was less than an hour from various small farms and her doctor owned one. so one day when he came over he brought a baby sheep with him. it was recently born on his little farm and was the runt of the litter with clear health issues so it needed some human help to stay alive. not sure why he brought it to my mom but i guess they were friends as well as patient/doctor or maybe they had talked about it previously or something...i never got a full explanation on that. the poor little guy was in bad shape but we thought we'd give it a try to nurse it to health. my mom said we could keep it for awhile. so i wound up caring for it. feeding it from a bottle, making a little bed for it right next to mine and all that. then one day, i think we only had it for under a week, i woke up and the poor little guy was just lying there dead. it was sad but even if it was only for a short time it was cool to say i had a pet sheep for a few days.
