Continuing our Rotorua visit, we got to learn about sheep and sheep dogs and how to shave them (the sheep, not the dogs).  New Zealand has 4 million residents, over 40 million sheep and a few *really* hyperactive sheep dogs.  The great Agrodome show we attended provided some hands-on experience, as you'll see below.

Lou,Kiyoko,Tamiko & Mariko did the Zorb in the rain. Yes they got inside a ball & rolled down a hill

Suddenly, no more fuzz. This made everyone in the cold auditorium shiver...
