Meet Emmie (short for emollient) (not emolument).
Emmie was born defective with a malformed cheek and had to have corrective surgery. This suggested that the recent sheepment may have been defective...and yes they were. The surgeon was kept quite busy.
And now I think I will be heading off to visit Little Penguin Quilts because I think I may have the same water feature in my front yard as she had in hers. And yes, to investigate the water leak, I did make a trip to the crawl space at about 4AM, and this set off the SUPER LOUD Molly alarm system. All day.
Clarification: My water feature is a leak in the pipe coming into the house, and Little Penguin Quilts had problems with pipes going out. But I didn't want you to think that I was talking about snow! In any case, visit Little Penguin Quilts for the festive cheer.
Uh-oh. Sheep surgery is one thing, but plumber surgery on a house can be a cat-astrophy. Plus it’s wet. Oh, the joys of home ownership!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. The only thing more distressing than an over-effective Molly alarm is a plumbing issue. All the luck with that!

No matter what kind of water feature you have going on at your house, they have a tendency to not be fun! Hope yours was not too expensive... I love your sheep - sorry they required some surgery, though!
ReplyDeleteWill the Emmie's need to be separated to keep them straight? Nothing worse than plumbing problems during the winter. I take that back, heating problems would top plumbing, but combined, they would be a disaster.
