| “It`s a baby pony. Of course it is small!” Pippin said. There were times Merry wasn't as bright as people would have him be. Lol! I love how Pippin thinks Merry is just being obtuse, here. I like all your discussion of pony breeding. Just one suggestion for you; usually when talking about horse (and I think pony) parentage, the father is referred to as the sire and the mother is the dam. I'm looking forward to more of this story. :D Author Reply: Ah, thanks! I am glad you liked this. :D Merry is a smart one but he doesn't always think things through and Pippin does have a logic of his own, lol. | |

| I enjoyed this chapter very much. I loved Pip's logic about the naming of ponies! That was very funny. I also like the effort that Merry is making to please his father and to support him while he is getting over his sadness. All of your pony information sounded believable to me and I liked Harry. Author Reply: Thank you. Pippin does have his own logic about things, don't you agree? Merry looke so much up to his Da that he would go to great length to please him I think. | |

| I love this. Such a nice interaction between Merry, Pippin and Saradoc. You show the closeness all three of them share, yet with Merry having a special understanding of his lively Tookish cousin. And Saradoc's pride in Merry is lovely to behold. I do enjoy stories that have the fathers and sons getting on well, and showing their affection and pride in one another, instead of the sometimes cliched conflicts that often drive the plots. All your pony information sounded plausible to me, and I liked the bit where Pippin began to lose interest. Sounds like Pip to me! LOL! I had to wait all day to read this, since I was gone most of the day--it was certainly worth the wait. Author Reply: Thank you so much! They are really close I think, living with them so much as Pippin does. I think Merry and his Da has a very special relationship and I find it great fun to explore it. | |
