Bacon and Wool: Sheepdog


Story By: Andrew Frinkle
Farmer Bob had a neighbor who was also a farmer. Farmer
Randall had a lot of sheep. So, he kept a sheepdog named Patches.
Patches was great at herding sheep, but sometimes he forgot
whose yard was whose. He also got lost from time to time, which
didnt help.
On one occasion, Patches wandered over to Farmer Bobs farm.
He trotted up the driveway, starting to think something was amiss.
Everything was similar to his own home but strangely different.
Patches glanced back and forth, looking for something familiar,
and he found it when he saw Wool.
Wool the sheep was minding his own business and chewing grass. Hed found a tasty patch of
sedge grass that he was working on very happily. Without warning, Patches came howling up
to him and started running around and barking in his face.
Wool blinked in astonishment. Hed never seen such manners before. Baaaad Boy the goat
was pretty rude, but he wouldnt just run up and shout in your face. Wool turned away from
the dog, giving him the cold shoulder.
Patches followed him and started barking again. Wool found himself in an uncomfortable
confrontation with this strange animal. He backed away, and before he knew it, the dog was
barking and directing him to go this way and that.
Wool was halfway down the driveway, heading toward Farmer Randalls farm, when Bacon
caught him. Bacon came snorting and stomping up to the confused sheepdog. Patches didnt
know what to think of the pink pig. Farmer Randall didnt have any pigs. Patches quickly
assumed it was a strange sheep and tried to herd Bacon toward his home farm, too. The two
found themselves marching in step all the way down the driveway and up the lane.
Later that night, Farmer Randall loaded Bacon and Wool up in a trailer and drove them back
to Farmer Bobs house. Patches sat in the truck, watching Bacon and Wool return to their
pens. Farmer Bob wasnt very happy with either of them. He was even less pleased a couple
weeks later when it happened again.
What could Bacon and Wool do? They had to obey the sheepdogs commands, right?
