Ruthie gave her a beeper to put on each sheep, plus a phone, so that whenever she dialed a number on the phone, the beepers would beep, and the sheep would come home. However, she lost the phone and had to call them from Finders Keepers, then realized she had lost the hay she had just bought for their dinner. After that, the sheep began carrying the phone, and Flo started wearing the beeper. Ruthie gave her a copy of a book called "How to Stop Losing Things."
