The Sheep of Doom
Well, the sheep are definitely doomed. The human was off researching that rather frightening family tree this afternoon, and would you believe she stumbled on a quilt pattern while hunting an OBITUARY? Needless to say, the polar bears think it would look just perfect with them snuggled under it, and they're currently going through fabric looking for just the right patterns to compliment their fur, when they aren't figuring out which sheep to visit. I'm afraid that there was scissors sharpening done at that quilt show too, so those poor sheep are doomed for sure. Luckily the cubs are kind of small, and will probably just need a lamb's worth of wool, but I shudder to think of the requirement for my two sisters. I just hope those sheep have no issues with suddenly being made nudists.

We've heard that shearing sheep is a LOT of VERY hard work. However, if the polar bears do their homework, it seems that sheep farmers do this exhausting task every year in the spring. We suggest the polar bears wait, watch, and when those bags of wool are all cut and vulnerable, just snatch some of those. No fuss, no muss, no blisters.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to suggest that to them, since they surely aren't going to listen to my suggestions to just leave the wool alone and go with the commercial batting the stores sell. Letting the sheep farmers do the cutting would save on wear to the scissors too, of course. The human's supposed to be making cat and dog quilts so I should probably do something to prevent scissor damage. Do you think the sheep farmers will find it too suspicious if they spot a group of polar bears lurking around keeping an eye on their sacks of wool?
