sheep, part 2

my neighbor called me. she said her brother-in-law gave the sheep to her husband. she has no idea why but she doesn't want it and they plan to give it back to him.  she said it does have shelter in the part of the yard I can't see from the street and they're feeding it hay.  I feel better now. I just hope the brother-in-law's home is a good one. why did he give it to them in the first place? I need to talk to her some more but she is always busy with her 3 kids and she works full time plus the weather has not been nice. I used to see them outside all the time when I walked Lizzy but nobody is ever outside around here in bad weather. I'm the only one that ever walks my dog so I have to just keep calling and leaving messages. I've been trying to get them to train their dog too. they have a beautiful, sweet dobie and the poor thing lives outside. nobody ever pays any attention to him. sometimes I bring Lizzy over to play with him and he just goes crazy. I can't bring her over there with that sheep there. there's no telling what she would do to it.  probably just chase it but I wouldn't want to risk it getting hurt.
