We're leaving the beach for a visit to the South Devon sheepdog trials.

Slightly unpredictable, because dogs are quite hard to train.

Have fun! :D

You aren't kidding! I finally got the two black sheep penned up and the two lambs are doing their thing. The sheepdog is now lying down resting after all that hard work. Thanks for all that fun, Liz! :D

I have managed to get two sheep into their pens but then I'm at a loss when it comes to the bottie area & the white timer. Kinda think I know what has to be done (maybe) :?: :?: but doing it is another kettle of fish :shock: :shock: Then again, don't even know if I'm on the right track. Will keep trying tho :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

Well - it seems I've made a somewhat tricky puzzle here! :twisted: Actually I didn't mean to, but one thing led to another and a stinkerette was the result.

Here's the solution. Look away if you don't want to know :wink:




1. Move Stinky left so the dog goes on the red button. Walk down to the yellow gate, and on down as soon as it opens, shutting the first sheep in.
2. When the second sheep has moved right, move down so the dog presses the dark blue timer, then move 1 space back up to block the returning sheep from going into the top area. As soon as the sheep has moved off to the right, quickly move down and right along the lower alley. Step up across the inactive TP to lure the dog up and quickly back down as soon as the gates open (Wait a moment on the blue button to make sure the dog doesn’t get shut in the gate). Walk right and stop below the light blue gate wall – the dog is now on the light blue button and the sheep will go into the green button area. Move one space further right to shut the gate and lure the dog into the right-hand alley.
3. Go up through the blue TP, and wait by the white gate until the dog is in the z-bot room. The dog will walk up the alley by the white gate. This part is a bit tricky. When the z-bots are out of the way walk to the stony floor above the red button. The dog diverts a z-bot into the white button room. IMMEDIATELY the first z-bot touches the dog, move up 2 spaces to the other stony floor to divert the second z-bot. It will go round again, but when it returns it goes left and into the pink button alley. (If you were not quick enough, both z-bots will be in the white button room. All is not lost though! You can go back through the blue TP and round into the z-bot room. Get the dog into the space with the z-bots and try to get one out. Usually 2 will come out so you can try again.) It may be easier to just start the level again though … it’s up to you.
4. Once both z-bots are in their separate rooms you can lead the dog to his final position on the conveyor button. Push the yellow sphere left to block his exit, and go collect the bonus coins.
5. Wait on the stopped conveyors for the pink gate to open. Collect the coins and go into the house, right, up and left to the exit.



I did make an easier one on the Kids Level section! 8)

WOW, Lizzie, this was one tricky intricate level :evil: :evil: Thanks to your walk-thru I was finally about to solve it but still had problems getting everyone & everything into the right locations. Then at the very end -- was so happy to be within sight of the exit -- got CHOMPED :roll: :roll: Next time (sitting on the edge of my chair) I GOT THE GOLD :!: :!:

Hats off to Gen who seemed to be the only one to fnish without the spoiler Image

Thanks for the spoiler, Liz. I never got further than caging the two Kabooms :?
Tricky and clever level, thanks :D

Did the kid's version on my first try :P

Gosh, ya think!?!

This was truly a work of mad genius :twisted: even with the walk-through timing and proper moves did not come easily!

Thanks Liz but please don't do this to me again :?

This was very hard for me Lizzie :oops: :oops: :oops: I had almost half of it done myself, but soon realised I had made a baa baa when I had nothing on the white timer (although I did have great fun ducking and diving getting the coins off the ice curves by the Botties whilst they were still circling :twisted: )

Excellently planned out level hon - you are very clever 8) I just wish I could have completed it myself, but even with your spoiler it took me ages :( :D :lol:

Great level Little Bo Peep Image
