    Perhaps because you know that dogs don’t go ‘baa’?

    OMG! How can people be so ignorant!
    Although, I wouldn’t mind a sheep or Alpaca in my back yard. How are the new boys?

    Maybe also because your neighbors would recognize the difference between a sheep and a poodle?

    That’s hilarious! Although how stupid do you have to be not to realize it’s not a dog?

    Because you’re not an attention seeking actress type with no chance of Richard Gere coming over to maul her in public?

    I think that’s the best way I’ve heard to get sheep into a no-agricultural area.

    I almost wish that story were true…but it’s not. Not that I wish thousands of people had been scammed, but I like the idea that there’s some sort of sheep rebellion going on and they’re infiltrating the country disguised as house pets.

    I figured it was a hoax. But it’s still funny!
