Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...I just want to cuddle him. Is that wrong?

I like the way you did the sheep and how the black one was like Colby...

Bless his heart. I'm so glad they mended the fences. *sighs*

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the fic. With the location he’s in I’m surprised you’re able to restrain yourself to cuddling. =)

OMG...you know me so well!

I'd give him a reason to sleep...I'd wear him out until he didn't have a choice, if you want me to be honest. But hey...since he was struggling, I thought I'd cut him some slack. ;p

[cerisereve]

Consider it a lucky guess. *wink* The story ends with an exclamation mark. My guess is that he is pretty wide awake when the third sheep finally makes it over that fence.

Awwwww. Poor Colby. Just want to give him big hugs and tell him everything will be okay. Love the sleep issues and counting sheep. A very clever twist to this prompt.

[cerisereve]

Glad you liked how I used the prompt. I knew I didn’t want to use the strict interpretation of the word and then (when I couldn’t sleep) the idea of counting sheep popped into my head.

LOL, as a chronic insomnia, this really struck a chord, and it'll give me something to laugh over and distract myself with in the wee small hours. I love Colby.

[cerisereve]

I’m sorry you’re stuck with insomnia because the few times it’s hit me have been horrible. Laughter and distraction are the best medicine, so I trust you had fun with jumping sheep last night. And besides, who doesn’t love Colby?

OMG you crawled inside my head!

I have the worst insomnia - all my life - and I can't count sheep because stuff like this is what happens and I end up more frustrated and less able to sleep than before! LOL

I love the bit about David. Poor Colby! /pets/

Nice use of the prompt!

She clears it!

\o/

If I’ve crawled inside your head, then I came for the plot bunnies. With all the fic you write I hope you won’t mind the theft of one little bunny.

I’ve never been able to successfully count sheep in my life. The act of counting them always seemed ludicrous because sheep, despite what their name connotes, would never tamely jump over any fence.

Thank you! Glad I could make you laugh.
