| Pippin in a sheep costume - the mind boggles! And I would love to see Frodo trying to restrain himself from laughing at this tail. Author Reply: Poor Frodo! I do think he must have had a very hard time keeping a straight face around his cousins half of the time. Also, I wouldn't put it past him to serve lamb stew for dinner that night would you? hehehe | |

| With thanks to Slightly Tookish for the nudge, I loved this little 'lamb's tale'! Poor Pippin! Merry was on the right track, though; they should have charged admission! Author Reply: For some reason I think of Merry as the sort who has good ideas for money-making ventures. Maybe it is because I think of him as an organizer of sorts and a planner. I'm glad you liked this and thank you for reading. | |

| I love this poem! If we had more summer reruns like this one, we wouldn't complain about them! :) Author Reply: Thank you! I try to steal from the very best and this poem is a bit of the rhyme scheme of the brilliant Dr. Seuss. Now there's someone whose work can be read over and over and over again! | |

| Your disclaimers always make me grin now off to meet the sheep. Author Reply: The sheep are waiting for you and you may be surprised. | |

| How cute is this? You are a 'shear genius', GW. Awwww for the wee ones wanting to "pet the lamb", and giggles for poor Frodo wondering what new escapade his cousins could be up to *this* time. (And LOL to Sam waiting to laugh until he got away.) “You knew it was me,” Pippin sighed. “Of course I did,” Merry smiled, putting an arm around Pippin’s shoulders. “Whenever I can’t believe what I’m seeing it always turns out to be you.” *glee* Author Reply: Thank you! Oh, and many thanks for the sheep photo that I used on my LJ this time. Those are some very wicked looking sheep! LOL I can imagine that at least part of the fun of having Pippin as a cousin would be the strange surprises. Merry must have seen more than his share of interesting things thanks to Pip. (And that was before he went on that Quest-thing with his other very interesting Cousin!) | |

| Dear Grey Wonderer, Don’t worry for repeating this poem once again, For I think it is splendid and quite a little gem! I love to read of hobbits, not just because they’re small, They’re smart and brave and funny and some are even tall ;-) So, I'm looking forward to reading about hobbits and sheep... Author Reply: Bravo! Great little poetic response! Hope you enjoy this little sheep's tale. | |

| LOL! How does Pippin manage to get himself into these scrapes? “I am not spending a summer at parties in this wooly thing with wee children hanging off of me and pulling my tail!” Pippin objected. Y'know, this puts a whole new spin on JRRT's saying that Merry and Pippin became famous for their parties when they lived at Crickhollow... Author Reply: LOL It does! Imagine the advert: Brandybuck and Took, Children's party-planners! Games, songs, stories, food, and special surprised provided. Also a special visit from Pip the Sheep! See us for all of your party-planning needs. Doesn't your little byrding deserve something special this year? LOL | |

| *L* What a funny story! Had me giggling all the way through, with some burst outs of laughter inbetween. Like here: “Whenever I can’t believe what I’m seeing it always turns out to be you.” *LOL* True, true. You know, I would love to see your stories in picture. Maybe you should find a regessieur, ask that woman, who draws that nice Hobbit Manga pictures ( Mucun was it right?) and than do funny Hobbit cartoons. I for sure would look them. *g* Author Reply: I'm very glad you enjoyed this one. That line you mentioned is actually one of my favorites as well. : ) As to the art work, that's an interesting idea and Mucun is a brilliant artist. I love her work. I suspect that my hobbits will remain a product of the imagination rather than drawings for the time being though. : ) | |

| Ah, another GW chuckler, and posted on a day when I will have some reading time! (In a little while... if all goes well...) I do love your little poem, and... is this a punny stsory, perhaps? Guess we'll see! Author Reply: Hope you had a nice day with a bit of spare time for whatever you wanted to do. It's always nice to have spare time. The little poem is on its second run-through so I have to work on something else for the next time. And with me,things do tend to get punny as you may know. | |

| Wonderful!! Dear Pip, he's such an easy target. Awfully clever of those Tooks to snatch Merry's knapsack as well. A joy to read as always, GW :-) Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do think Pip would have been easily taken in my friends and eager to measure up and be a part of the group so I suspect he wound up on the wrong side of the prank more than a few times. | |
