One of the lambs broke an entire horn off this morning while I was gone for an overnight movie shoot. What does the other caretaker who works here do? Step one: do not go get the myriad of animal medicines we have into the room specifically designated for the purpose of treatments and births. BONUS: Be sure you have never read the labels on any of those medicines Step two: allow the lamb to escape into the driveway Step three: panic Step four: put unwashed hands all over the painful, freely bleeding wound while still failing to control the lamb Step five: carry the lamb so inexpertly that it bleeds all over your face and mouth. Continue panicking Step six: put the lamb in the chicken yard. Where the chickens and their poop is Step seven: call me, crying, and panicking Step seven: do not listen to my instructions Step eight: pour Stop Bleed powder all over the lamb's face, including into its eyes. Stop Bleed contains tannic acid, Ammonium Alum, ferrous sulfate, and other extremely caustic chemical irritants fully capable of blinding a mammal Step nine: call me again while I am driving, asking why the lamb is now staggering in circles Step ten: lie about half of the things that happened Step 11: admit you lied but then tell me you shouldn't be expected to know these things although this is YOUR DAD'S RANCH AND YOU ARE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE Step 12: say "it's just a sheep" and when I reply "I suppose it is you who will slaughter him if he goes blind. . . Since he's just a sheep." Reply "no."
