It was a very interesting and wonderful sight to see them working. Being a sheepdog is a tough job. The dogs must gather the sheep first, then lead them into their pen. Pearl had made many attempts to be a good sheepdog, but failed miserably as she was too young and playful. Her parents and older siblings were really good at their job. They worked hard to help the farmer manage his farm and keep

Wake up! What happened?” cried the shaky farmer. Pearl could barely open her eyes and looked very weak. The farmer carried her inside the house and treated her wounds. She whimpered and fell asleep and with the discomfort that she lost her friend. The next morning, though very weak, she led the farmer towards the stable and started barking towards. The farmer soon realized that Jacob was missing. He cried “Jacob, Jacob. Where are you!” he shouted. He scurried around the farm looking for him. His wife and kids soon came out as they grown so attached to the foal. They searched the barn all around the town asking people if they saw Jacob around. Pearl even with the major injury still searched along with the family. She was so depressed and sad that she wouldn’t eat without him. She missed her friend and wondered where he was. Meanwhile, the men had driven Jacob to nearby stud farm which was a few miles away from the farm. They forcefully tugged him out of the van. “Get out, horse!” they yelled. Jacob wouldn’t budge and looked tired and depressed. They let one tug and Jacob was out of the van. It was pitch dark and the crickets were chirping. They brought Jacob into the stud farm.

    Off the edge of the Sahara, Jeoffrey Edwards grazed the flourishing grassy plains, basking in the solar rays with his good ol’ pal Basim. The further they meandered, the later it got; around 7 they had finally decided they were homebound. As they went, blissfully strolling through the maze of jungle vast throughout his home, the sudden appearance of a mysterious figure startled the two. The new giraffe was weirdly large, and seemed quite frightening to the giraffes. His face was hidden and all you could see where his spots, but when he began speaking his voice roared like a lion.…

    I’ve usually learned in hard way because frankly, I love to challenge myself to expand my personal capacity. Although I had already talked to one of my classmates about having interview with her as a Caucasian woman, I decided to do it with my cousin’s friend, Jacob, who I met in my place for the first time during Thanksgiving holidays. Interviewing Jacob about his interactions with other cultures has made me realize that I have a lot to learn about the meaning of the privilege and holding it. Jacob was a 24-year-old Caucasian, who lived in Missouri his entire life. Though he was visiting California for the second time in his life, he was in a Persian house for the first time.…

    Raising Sheep the Modern Way, an informative written by Paula Simmons and copyrighted in 1976, was composed with the intention of providing ignorant small-scale shepherds with useful information to improve profitability from a flock of sheep. The book efficiently provides needed information to a novice shepherd. Yet it is unsuccessful in providing knowledge to an experienced shepherd. However, I did enjoy reading the book because it showed me the drastic differences in sheep breeds from then to now. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a desire to learn methods and tactics to raising and caring for sheep.…
