You can host a total number of 16 cute sheep on your desktop which can be moved around (and can be made to walk on any Explorer window) or dropped from any height using the cursor The sheep behavior is "randomly generated", so don't be surprised if some sheep decide to either eat a flower or take a flaming dive in a bathtub.From the app's Options section, you can add new pets, enable or disable the sounds, as well as choose the total number of sheep in your virtual flock.Cast a sheep's eye on your flock while being distracted from important work
