| Indeed a difficult problem for Merry to face, and Pippin did a wonderful job at explaining as he could. But such a terrible way to get rid of unwanted kittens that the farm can't support. Author Reply: Thank you, Larner, for reading and commenting :-) It has always seemed a particularly cruel thing to me. Cats have long been abused animals. I tired to deal with the matter with some tact and grace. | |

| You did a marvelous job with this bunny, Pearl! It's a beautiful story, full of love and wisdom and growth. It's lovely to see Pippin acting as the 'older cousin', and letting us end with purring and full tummies. Author Reply: Thank you so much, dear mentor. It simply had to end with purring and full tummies :-) | |

| Oh my, I *knew* you'd create an awesome story from my wee bunny! I loved the interactions between Pippin and Merry, and how Pippin was, for once, the one with the knowledge to share. He *was* a grown up lad in the way he handled it, and yet tender-hearted as always, as shown by the burial and the little funeral. Interesting that Merry had a hard time with it, but also logical because unlike his little cousin, he wasn't raised on a farm. So it follows perfectly that Pippin would have more knowledge about the farm cats and other animals. I loved the superstitions you added to the story and the way the ferry hobbit reacted to the kittens. I'm glad Esmeralda didn't believe in it either. You even wrote dear old Pearl in character. She really *was* a true mama cat and would have taken in those kittens in real life, I'm sure. Thanks so much, Pearl! Hmmm, and now for my next bunny....... Author Reply: Thank you so much, Cathleen. Thank you for your bunny. Thank you for your confidence. I'm so glad you liked the end result. Make it a good one . . . Hugs, Pearl | |
