A sheep is for life, not just for Christmas

Animal update: Last night when Mkiale went to collect our families sheep from a nearby field she found the mother sheep dead, the baby was missing and the Dad sheep was injured. My host Daddy went to check it out and has said he and the local livestock officer and Police believe a dog is responsible. Here in TZ it's very rare to see dogs out in the day as here dogs are kept for security and are locked in kennels during the day and only let out at night, so my family are suggesting that this dog maybe out in the day because it is sick with rabies.  Also 2 people (1 child 1 adult) have been bitten by a random dog in the past week around this area. It's all a bit worrying but the local police are trying to find this dog to put it down. 

My host mum was really upset as the sheep were a source of income for the family (selling the lambs) so to cheer her up i agreed to do some dancing round the living room with her! She loves dancing. We were rocking out to P-Squared, google them. Their huge out here but they are REALLY crap!

Anyway I'm thinking I might buy my family a new lady sheep as they have had such bad luck with their animals lately, first the cow died which was carrying a calf and now their sheep and lamb. Going to see how the daddy sheep does before making a decision but maybe I could get them a new sheep for Christmas (even though they are Muslim they still celebrate Christmas). If I do I hope I can find some ribbon big enough so I can tie a big bow on the sheep. How cool to even just see a sheep wearing a big bow, never mind owning a sheep that's got a big bow!!
