Always Entertaining

Tom last saw folks from Last Hurrah (neighbor) a week ago and told them the sheep had been missing for a week. Today Tom looks down at the pen and sees two new sheep. Last Hurrah folk say they're going to try again. Tom tells them he and Linny found the current sheep on the fire road. Last Hurrah folk say the two lambs need to be drawn into the pen so their tails can be cut off and these new sheep will draw them in. Tom reminds them the gate is closed to keep the new sheep from escaping until they are acclimated. How will the current ones get in? Last Hurrah folk say "no problem" they will hike up the fire road, catch the new lamb, and drag it by the tail to the pen (about a mile) and the others will follow. Tom returns to the lodge, gets the binoculars and a beer, and sits on the back porch watching Larry, Curly, and Moe chase Pinto and the other no problems around, eventually wearing out, heads hanging down, return to their truck. In the meantime...
