On second thoughts, I'll just go with the "glory" of getting the answer.

Please keep your gum for the winner of your next tricky puzzle, Speaking of which . . . how about it?

I will sort out a new one asap. I wasn't expecting this one to get answered so quickly.
It normally takes a little longer !....

A WETHER is a castrated male sheep.   [:o]  Is that the same thing?
Were you hinting at that?  Did I win?  Did I win??  [;)]


OUCH !!!

 [:o] [:o] [;D]


Sorry DiscoverDave..but a very clever application of your reasoning !

Nope the clue is specifically  within the dates mentioned ie:  5th, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd & 4th !

Presumably because it doesn't know whether it is Arthur or Martha. [:)]

The only other female animal name which comes to mind which fits is "jennet" ?, (female mule, donkey).

Oh, just remembered "heifer", (cow).

BTW the picture of Sarah was not an aide-mémoire pour moi: her appearance is more vulpine than bovine.

TERCEL = a male hawk, especially the male peregrine
Hey, I’m getting better.  At least I didn’t castrate it!  [;D]

Sarah Palin, or in Old Norman French: "PELIEN"
However, for trampolining upside down sheeps,
I must reverse the lettering and ... NEILEP !
[:o] Nooooo!!  Another secret identity revealed!  [:o]
I'm gonna lose my lunch...  [xx(] Look out!! Gang way!!!
Did I get it right?  Did I??  Did I?? → You betcha!!!

Dearest DiscoverDave,

I so wish to congratulate ewe on your persistence and enthusiasm especially when demonstrated in such a jocular and entertaining way.

unfortunately , it is with deep regret that I must inform ewe that it's still a no !....however, as  reward for your pleasurable merriment I would like to award ewe with a treat that i think you'll enjoy .....it's a tiny banana !   [ Invalid Attachment ]

...enjoy !..try not to eat it all at once ..I would not want ewe to ruin your appetite for dinner tonight ! [;)]

H is the 5th Letter in FiftH, E is the 2nd letter in sEcond, I is the 3rd letter in thIrd, F is the 1st letter in First,E is the 2nd letter in sEcond and finally, R is 4th letter in fouRth...


Now although, RD did not explain it..I am sure it was known yes ?....be honest now !!

Yes I am: the ex-beauty queen, (third place Miss Alaska 1984) is a fox.  [:)]


There are very few six letter words for female animal, so a "dictionary attack" was going to solve the puzzle pretty quickly,

                                                                                                                                          (i.e. no, I didn't break the code).
