Every summer they have the 'Westerner' fair here in my home town. Dirty carnies and rickety rides complete with rip-off prize booths and e-coli laced treats. Gotta love it. I go to see the agricultural displays like the previously mentioned sheep shearing and to see the baby animals.
YES, okay, Cal likes the baby animals. When I lived in Yellowknife my friend Johnny Two-Dogs had two beautiful Huskies. When they had puppies (and his name changed to Johnny Seven-Dogs) he needed people to sit with them non-stop for the first couple of weeks to get them totally acclimated to people.
So he set up a haybail coral in his garage and I was one of the volunteers who got to sleep out in the hay with the puppies crawling all over me - sometimes hand feeding them and sometimes playing 'stack the puppies' I could get four before the puppy jenga tower crumbled. They were great.
I saw this clip today and just had to post it. Baby sheep are the dumbest things around. I love the way they clip clop and jump like they are losing what little mind they actually have.
