Charlie 1, Ian 0

After being levelled by yet another bug (my immune system must be on vacation), Ian has taken over the farm chores once again.  Last night he waged an epic battle with Charlie and the sheep over going into the barn for the night.   Loki would go in and Charlie would sneak out.  Then Charlie would go in and Loki would race out.  And repeat.

Despite four bribes of grain, lots of pleading, and more than an hour of patience, the donkey and four sheep simply refused to all go into the barn at the same time.  After midnight Ian finally admitted defeat and left them outside for the coyotes.

Luckily everyone was still around this morning.  In fact, they were all cuddled up together inside the barn.  Figures.  Charlie 1, Ian 0.
