Neighbors - can't live with em, can't live without them...blah!

Today my lovely neighbors to the northwest called me when I was in the middle of the job. Of course I saw their name come up on the call display, and thought to myself "what now?" so I didn't answer. Instead I thought it would be best to just check the messages and see if its anything important. Yes, she left me a message and this is what it was:

"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" - in a moany painful sounding tone. I rolled my eyes and thought WTF!!! Better call her back, maybe at her age she could be having a heart attack, God only knows. So when I returned the call there was no "Hi Kelly how are you?" Just a simple rude "they're back over here.... ahhhhhh...... So I responded: "what? horses or sheep? "Its the sheep they are back .... they've crossed on to our pasture and they were heading this waybut now they've turned back and are on your pasture" So I calmly say: "so they are on OUR north pasture?" She says "yes, but they're close to ours..

Ok, first off - OH MY GOD!!!! Seriously? Having a nervous breakdown because my sheep are in my pasture but close to crossing over? They are ONLY sheep!!! Not the end of the world or anywhere close to it. AND on top of it all, this is coming from people who back in the 80's ranched this exact same place with over 800 head of cattle! So do they mean to say that not once did they have cattle get out? Honestly, I would be embarrassed to cause hell over something so ridiculous. Seniors have nothing better to do then look out their windows and watch for things to go wrong...it drives me crazy!

I have a friend in Alberta who is a cowgirl and stock dog person who too has sheep for training the dogs. She told me about a time when her sheep got out and went over to the church and grazed in their yard. The minister phoned and complained so she figured she'd fix this the first time so they'd never complain again (everyone knows that #1-sheep like to die & #2 sheep are always getting out!). She chased some cows over there too, a bunch of dogs and a truck and put on her own little rodeo on their lawn...lol.! The more & more I think about it, I may just have to do the same thing! Guessing there would be no more phone calls after that, a few sheep wouldn't hurt anything after all :D Ugh...bastards!
