A Sheep in the Deep is a 1962 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble.

It is the sixth short featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog, as well as the last cartoon featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog to be directed by Jones (their next appearance was in Woolen Under Where, released in 1963 and directed by Phil Monroe and Richard Thompson).

Sam wakes up at dawn and takes a leisurely stroll to work as Ralph sleeps in and the sun rises.

A claw lifts his blanket, his bed tilts, dropping him into a trap door where he falls into the shower.

As he rides the roller skate down its rail and dries off with the towel, he is fed a slice of toast and coffee.

Finally, he grabs his lunch from a hook and rides the roller skate out his front door, down the path, and punches into work before Sam.

Instead of falling immediately, Ralph slides around on the banana peel and on his way back Sam snags the stolen sheep with a lasso.

Sam calmly pours a box of BB pellets into his mouth and shoots at Ralph's balloons with a blow gun.

However, before that can happen, the time clock whistle blows and Sam puts Ralph back on the cliff and lets go of him, then the two of them head off for lunch.

Sam walks in off-screen and extinguishes the stick of dynamite by pinching it with his fingers, then says "It's too close to quittin' time, Ralph; let's pick it up there in the morning."
