This post resulted from another GirlieOnTheEdge six-sentence, flash-fiction challenge. The challenge word this time was pad and the first thing that came to mind was a happy, smiling dog padding around. You can check out the challenge, maybe write your own six sentences, here.

1. Freckles crept, nose near the ground, rump high, legs ready in case she needed to sprint, eyes riveted on an old ewe. 2. The ewe stomped once, twice, and looked over her shoulder. 3. The rest of the flock stood motionless behind her, watching. 4. Freckles crept another few inches and the ewe raised her head, turned, and dashed through middle of the flock, into the gate. 5. The rest of the sheep scurried in behind her. 6. Freckles padded over to her shepherd, smiling, head high, tail wagging, for a gentle pat on the head—job well done.
