When I told my animal friends that I didn’t know what to blog about this week, Carlotta said, “Talk about me! Blog about wild pigs!”
Our mom is so sad. Her extra-special ram, Baamadeus, died last Thursday afternoon.
Last week, I told you some of the cool things Uzzi and I learned about wool and sheep. Here are some more things to know.
Yesterday, the little girl lambs came to visit Uzzi and me. They giggled and nudged one another and then Grace, the spokeslamb asked, “You goats look funny. Why don’t you have wool?”
Mom thinks we animals are acting weird. For instance, Ursula, the fat, black ewe, is in passionate love with me. Yes, really! She strolls past 10 grumbling rams to purr and bat her eyes at me. (That’s where the phrase “making sheep eyes” comes from.)
Are you making New Year’s resolutions this year? Uzzi says I should resolve to stop strutting around like I own the world and also stop peeing in my beard. He’s just jealous.
Note from Sue, Martok’s human mom: Martok agreed again this year to share his annual Christmas letter to his beautiful Nubian mother, Ozark Jewels Peppercorn.
