My four-year-old daughter was out in the barn seeing her dad shear the sheep for summer.
It was still cool outside, however it was that time of year.
I heard her screaming and crying as she ran into the house. She told myself and others daddy took the sheep’s coat off them and they were going to freeze. She wanted extra jackets to put on them and demanded she take a space gas furnace out to the barn. I wasn’t about to put a space gas furnace in the barn since the hay could store heat, and I honestly would not allow her to take one to the barn. She insisted the sheep need space heaters, or they were going to sick. I tried to explain to her that the sheep were used to having their wool removed and it would grow back suddenly, however she wasn’t listening. She was already rummaging through her drawers, looking for extra sweaters and warmer clothing. My hubby came in and asked where Mary had gone. She came out of her family room with clothing for the sheep and handed them to our hubby. She said they had to hurry and put it on the sheep. He looked at myself and others and I shrugged. I told him the clothing was better than the space gas furnaces she wanted to bring out. He rolled his eyup and walked out of the house. Mary called him back and smiled when he took the sweaters from her. He told her they couldn’t have space gas furnaces because the lambs could get burned. After thinking it over, she agreed to no space heaters.
