Time For an Update: On Those Naughty Sheep

It might not be a surprise to many of you, though it might marvel some of you. In this festive season of miracles and enchantment, yet, another small detail needs to be shared with our readers.

Perhaps you recall in the October 9th issue of the PCN (the most read local newspaper) there was an article which Editor Pierre titled "Baaaaad Sheep." This little article was meant to lighten some of the heavy and oppressing news that was happening in the world at the time. And by the remarks, comments, text messages and sharing of your thoughts, it was both timely and well received.

And a plus or two in the matter is...it was true and no animals were hurt, endangered or in any way harmed in the takedown. Most of Matt VanWinkle and Nick Cilz's friends gave them their share of harassing, which was, also done in the name of general badinage. It was for getting the focus on positive matters. It is probably safe to say it brought a smile or laugh and the two targets deflected the witticism like professionals.

THEN comes...our good friend, Paul Harvey and the Rest of the Story.

Yep. It was brought to this reporter's attention that an update might be it order. And, since it is a brief one, we are able to abide and accommodate.

Last week, Jordan Olson caught up with me and wanted me to know the story wasn't quite over. He laid some pretty heavy news on me.

"I thought you might like to know an update," Olson said.

It was then he poured out the wondrous news that the ewe from the incident is going to have a baby! Well, I know accidents wool happen.

Perhaps Olson just herd it through the grapevine.

Shout from the barn top to the rafters and beyond...a miracle baby is on the way. The once runaway prone animal has put a smile on Olson's face.

I was able to take a drive over her pasture, she must be part musically inclined, I could of swore I a heard a two-baa note or two. I greeted her in sheep language (because I am Basque) and started a conversation with, "Hay, how's it going?"

Her mate was a stately fashionable fella, he had been to the baa-baashop for a wool clip; he probably took the Lamborghini.

No one stated whether (not to be mistaken for "wether" by any means) or not it is soon to happen. There hasn't been a word as to if she is making a "b-aaag" yet or not or is she will hold out until the N-ewe year."
