A few weeks ago Doodle had his first close encounter of the sheep kind. Usually when we go to the zoo the goats and sheeeeeeep are happily hanging out in their pens. He runs up says, " Hellooooo Sheeeeeep" and we are done. No lingering, no photo ops, off to the next critter. Well, Last time we went, it happened to be winter break for the schools, and it happened to be a beautiful warm day and low and behold the goats and Sheeeeeep were out in the contact yard ( that's petting zoo in old school terminology.) We went in and he loved it, petting the sheeeeeeep, talking to the goats, scratching their tushies. A good time was had by all. After we left to check out the other zoo creatures he said nothing but, " goats and sheeeeep". Goats and Sheeeeep" For about 20 minutes. Crazy! So we went back. He ran up to the fence and said, " Byebye goats, byebye sheeeeep." And left. He never said, " Goats and Sheeep" again. I guess he just needed to say goodbye. Don't we all need that?
