Proof positive that I live in Hick-ville.

I live in a very small town of less than 2000 people.  Yesterday morning (around 8ish) my family and I went to the local convenient store to get our morning drinks so we could head to the farm and get started on our day.

Ok I have to set this up for you so you can get the whole picture. The way the store is situated on the block the best way in and out of the parking lot is to come in the front drive and park. To exit a person has to drive around the back of the store into the ally and then pull out into the street. Does that make sense?

Ok so we were leaving the parking lot about to pull onto the street when right in front of us is an animal. I pointed and exclaimed "IS THAT A LAMB???" It was a lamb, and not only was it a lamb there was a police car chasing the lamb down the ally across the street heading for us. The lamb headed down the street toward Main St with the cop hot on his little tail. When the lamb and the police car reached Main St the little lamb took of running the car still following. He turned his lights on and was chasing the sheep. If there was ever a moment when I needed my video camera in hand this was it. Now you have to picture this a lamb running down Main St of a small town with a police officer following it with his lights on.

I was nearly rolling in the pickup floor laughing, that was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long long time. Just thought I would share.

awww   ! The lamb got lost from its mom!  Our town years back had a baby moose find its way into town.  He made the local newspaper and news station that night! LOL

That's freakin' hilarious!  I thought I lived in hick town because people drive 4 wheelers in the main streets... but after your story, maybe not.  Here in Wyoming they would have just shot at it!  :P

Have you ever had to use the excuse - "I'm late because there was cattle in the road" - and its a viable excuse???  Sorry I was 30 min late for work, this farmer was taking his cattle to a different pasture across the street, and I had to wait until they crossed...

Yeah, that happens a lot here.

The things you see in a rural town are crazy. A couple of years ago the local hospital got a surprise visit from a moose that walked through the automatic doors and into the lobby. The police had to remove this critter too. Can you imagine the day the receptionist had to be having. lol. Only in rural America!
