I was out grazing the sheep with my sheepdog King. We watched the clouds sail by and we chased each other on the fields. Years have given me a good understanding of dogs in general. When they growl low in their throats, they are either warning you off or they feel threatened. On this day, I awoke to his growling and I saw him with his teeth bared, tail erected.
"What is it King?" I asked. He said nothing and I followed his narrowed gaze towards the sheep and I saw... What?! There were 3 wolves among the flock, hidden underneath skins of sheep wool. Ulu ulu wolves are among the smartest beast on land. Stories of wolves impersonating grandmothers or harmless sheep are not mere legends; they are right in front of us.
I turned towards King and gave a stern look, "Weren't you supposed to have gotten rid of them last month?"
King looked blankly at me as if to say, "Hey Boss, I herd sheep."
Swell. I can't challenge them now. Tomorrow, I shall bring my rifle out of the storage. Aunt Sally mustn’t know of this.

As I feared, our plans for a gathering fell through. I'm not too unhappy as I have predicted it and upsetted myself ahead of time. This frees me up for another event - Laser Quest. Thought it was dead.
Two other slips in organisation freed me up to join two other events. This's not a very good thing to happen around me...
