It's Fair Time

I'm extremely disappointed to announce that Billy the Incessantly Bleating Sheep has not gone off to the fair as expected. E was really hoping that Billy was a 4H project and would go away. Then again, the next door neighbors also have a pet raccoon which they wear on their heads, so I guess it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the damn sheep is also a pet - albeit one that can't sit on their heads.

My dad says I should one up them and get an alpaca. Apparently, they don't spit. He's also actively trying to borrow a goat from one of my coworkers. The last thing I need is a goat in my backyard. That said, the chorus of bleating from the two animals would certainly keep everyone awake. And I need something if I'm to keep up with the Joneses.
