| “I don’t think we saw any of it, Merry. We were both passed out over here and we didn’t see a thing.” I'm glad *I* saw the whole thing! Whatever it was. This is the darlingest story, and I hated to see it end. :D Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoying being witness to this carnage. LOL Thank you for reading it. Your reviews are always appreciated. : ) | |

| Lovely Sheep story, GW. I especially enjoyed the mutual discussion of how they smell. I thought the suggestion of rolling them in the grass to fix the hobbits bad smell was very wise, though the comment that they would just go wash it off was quite astute. Thanks for the giggles. Author Reply: Thank you! I was glad to know the bit about 'smells' worked. I don't write much from the sheep's POV and so I'm glad to know it worked this time. Thank you for reading, reviewing, and giggling! | |

| Oh! Oh mercy! *wipes eyes*gigglesnort*takes deep breath* Good heavens, GW, where DO you get these brilliant ideas? I love the personalities and opinions of all the sheep! Who knew that's what the sheep thought about the hobbits? This was just too funny! I loved Bert taking off after "poacher Freddy"-- but I must say, I think he deserved to have Freddy fall on him! He didn't even give Freddy a chance to explain! (THough I'm not sure how well he *could* have explained if he was in the same state as his cousins.) Pippin paused and after a minute or two he said, “I don’t think we saw any of it, Merry. We were both passed out over here and we didn’t see a thing.” “Good idea,” Merry agreed. “We can’t explain what we didn’t see.” “And, we can’t explain what we *did* see either,” Pippin said. Both of them lay back down and closed their eyes. I've always thought Pippin was far more intelligent than some people give him credit for, and this proves it! And Ernie? When I saw the name of the second shepherd-- well, you know, you really should include beverage warnings in those clever disclaimers of yours! *mops OJ off monitor* Good old Paladin-- he'll sort it all out, and enjoy doing so... Author Reply: I love the sound effects in your reviews. It's kind of like I get to listen to you read the story. Makes it much more fun. I thought it was about time I wrote something from the sheep's POV. They have, after all, been grazing their way through my stories for some time now. I felt they deserved their say in at least one of them. Bert did over-react for a so-called gentle shepherd who wouldn't hurt a fly, didn't he? I think poor Freddy got the worst of this one but at some point, I'll give him his revenge on Merry and Pippin at least. I may leave Bert alone. He's really rather high-stung isn't he? Yes, Pippin is very clever indeed. In my stories often it is only Merry that can see it, but it is true. I like the idea of naming my hobbits for other things from time to time. And so Bert and Ernie Sesame Street and Bert and Ernie from It's a Wonderful Life got the nod this time. Sorry about the beverage spew but I am very glad you enjoyed it all. Thanks so much for reading! | |
