I genuinely want to get a pet sheep one day. They're so cute!!

Lamb season always makes me smile. My mother used to absolutely melt when she saw them, so it's a happy reminder of her

Sheep are also incredibly gross and dirty animals that don't clean themselves. Think of a goat but with long, curly hair that collects every bit of dirt.

Hey everyone, check out this guy who doesn't even have a pet sheep.

who doesn't even have a pet sheep.

"You can't say everyone has a pet sheep, when everyone does not have a pet sheep. We're going to get nasty letters saying 'Where's my pet sheep? Why don't I have a pet sheep?'"

Dr Archibald from VeggieTales spits his drink in shock

Why would that be, I wonder...?

Farmers, I assume. It was a small village with a lot of farms

Here in the states at least, it can get you an agriculture tax break. Lots of people will have pet goats, sheep, donkeys etc..

Does it deliver your mail, though?
