Sheep Roundup!!!
Edited on Tue May-13-08 07:24 PM by bamademo
I volunteer at a living history museum in the barnyard. Barnyard link is here:

I work in tech support at an Army base all day and I get really burned out with computer problems so it's fun to go volunteer at a very low tech place. Today was annual vaccination day for the animals and when I got there the only animals left to be vaccinated were the Micropigs and the Sheep. The pigs squealed like a pig and the sheep had to be lassoed. Even though I'm an Alabama fan, that old Auburn vet, Dr. McCurdy, lassoed those sheep like a pro. It was better than watching HBO.

It's nice in this economy to have a source for free eggs, cheese, milk and veggies.

1. Sheep? Did someone say sheep?

Sally would trade her whole collection of Frisbees® and tennis balls for a day at the barnyard. We're hoping she'll get an opportunity to try herding sheep sometime.
Your volunteer job sounds like a good balance for your work!
