Let Sleeping Dogs Lie  by Lindelea 92 Review(s)
AndreaReviewed Chapter: 6 on 5/21/2014
Oh dear! How long will it take them to realise that something is wrong? Do Pippin and Bergil really have to wait until the banquet starts? And are they even conscious? Lots of questions that have to wait until the next chapter, I fear ;-)

Author Reply: Lots of questions, but there will be some answers at least in the next chapter. Hang in there!

Thanks!

New chapters are back, yay! What a relief.

But oh dear, no one is even missing our buried friends yet? And whatever is the pup trying to dig up? This is a great story. I, too, have been dragged by a dog much stronger than me, and I was lucky enough to come away with only scrapes and bruises and nothing worse.

Author Reply: Such a relief! Whew.

You, too? I remember my sister being dragged across a lawn by a dog of half her weight. Dogs can have a lot of power, and with four legs to our two they can really pull you along, even if you're dragging your feet and leaving furrows in the grass. I learned about not wrapping the leash around my wrist, from her experience, and saw it again in the more recent incident remembered at the top of the chapter.

Thanks!

Alas! How long until they realize that there is more to it tham Pippin encouraging Bergil to shirk his tasks? Poor Pippin and Bergil! A second time under a weight for the former, and a sore everything, it appears, for Bergil!

Author Reply: A sore everything! You're right -- to fall and be dragged would probably lead to "sore everything"!

It may take some time for someone to realise what's happened... unfortunately, it's as likely in real life as in a story.

But you know me, always trying to write "real" while working towards a satisfactory conclusion. (Sure wish satisfactory conclusions were a guarantee in life as well. *sigh*)

Thanks!

Problem fixed! Happen to be sitting up with newborn pups for the night. (Dad says it pays to be careful which means 3 or 4 mostly sleepless nights for us 'older ones'. Tonight is my shift.)

I love the old adages...quite true. Ought to use these sometime.

Rambling again...had better send this off. Goodnight.

Author Reply: Hope the shift went well. What kind of pups are they? I bet they're awfully cute.

Thanks!

YAY!! All fixed now!! *Wheeeeee!!!!!*

Author Reply: I know, I'm practically giddy. Blessing Rorrah and her skill and care...

Thanks!

Hi Lindelea, I just wanted to let you know that it is not just you that is having trouble with posting new chapters recently! I have been following a lot of your stories and I LOVE your style and the way you write Pippin! :) I first noticed this week when I would check on SOA for new chapters that I would get that "Internal Server Error" page on ALL recent additions, not just yours! I was frustrated, but thought it was a temporary site bug and hoped they would fix it soon. Then yesterday I discovered that while clicking on the chapter link for your 6th chapter of "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" would give me the error page, if I clicked on "View All Chapters" it would show me the story fine, INCLUDING the new chapter! I had the same experience with several other stories who had just added chapters. I can also do this with your attempt to add the new chapter separately - the chapter link gives an error, but the "view all chapters" button shows me the chapter perfectly.

So just to let you know that it was not your fault - it must be a bug that SOA hasn't fixed yet. Hopefully it will be cleared up soon! :)

Please keep writing & updating! I really enjoy your stories!

Thank you!

Author Reply: Thank you for your encouragement!

I have kept writing during the time the site was not working right, but I was afraid I might damage existing stories if I added chapters to them that apparently corrupted what was already there. Thankfully the problem did not do that kind of damage and things are working once more. Thus, I have material to post and will hope to resume posting at a steady rate again. After all, I do have a New Year's resolution I'm trying to keep...

That was a lovely tribute to a dear pet and family member. I could just see the dog sitting on the sofa from your description. Zoe must have been a lovely animal and a true friend. I am sorry for your lost but very glad that you can take joy in her memory. That isn't always easy to do.

Author Reply: Thank you. She was the most amazing dog I've ever known, and we miss her dearly. We look forward to getting a puppy from the same bloodlines next month. While we know the puppy can never replace her, at least we can hope for a new life-long friendship to bloom.

Oh, dear--what is going wrong, and at such a moment? Cliffhanger!

Author Reply: Evil cliffhanger. What is going wrong, is something I took from a real-life incident, in which things might have gone badly wrong but disaster was averted at the last moment. I, however, can be more ruthless (as well as less, for that matter) than real life...

Thanks!

Oh no! Just when I thought I could relax...Poor Pippin and no one but Bergil knows where he is.

I love how you built the suspense and then caught me just when I let my guard down.

'Everything seemed so right in that moment. Unfortunately, that was also the moment when everything went quite wrong.'



Author Reply: I love it when things work the way I intend them to work... Doesn't always happen! ...which makes it all the nicer when it does.

Thanks!

Best laid plans indeed! And a first-class cliffhanger!

Whatever happens: Pippin is not alone! Bergil and the pup are there to help him. I count on them!

Author Reply: Yes! It's best to enter adventure (or misadventure for that matter) in good company!

Thanks!
