Default Shrek OT

Shrek is the latest sensation in New Zealand and I believe has made
world news.

http://www.odt.co.nz/ and click on read more.

I believe Shrek was shivering last night and they were worried about
him. He is nine years old and could be in shock from the loss of his
wool - we will have to hope he survives OK. I hasten to say that they
are looking after him very well. He is indoors with heaps of woollies
on. He is very lucky to have survived with so much wool weighing him
down - and I hate to think how much it would have weighed when wet. If
he had fallen over he would have become 'cast' and wouldn't have been
able to get up again. He also couldn't see because the wool was almost
completely over his eyes. They also sheared him with hand shears
instead of electric as with hand shears they can leave a lot of wool on
him. The poor darling! But the nice thing is that he will live out
the rest of his life as a celebrity sheep (if he survives).

Judging by the news reports a lot of overseas gals are falling for the
shearer lol.

Yeah Bev, I saw it being sheared on TV. I'm sure he'll
get the best of treatment but wasn't it an enormous
amount of wool on him. Jean.P.

I thought he looked like a giant cauliflower.


BTW, why would removing the wool endanger him?
