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. Bev -- I got rid of my husband. The cat was allergic. |

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. Bev wrote in mes sage ...
