Beyond Imladris  by PSW 2 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 8 on 2/11/2025
Gangly legs and getting tired remind me of the Irish Wolfhound puppy we cared for all last summer and fall. We had him from about five months of age until he turned a year old. Though he was huge and had long legs (that grew longer), he tired easily, and the vet warned us not to walk him more than two miles or so to avoid damaging his rapidly growing joints, a far cry from our Giant Schnauzers who needed five miles a day to keep their exuberance in check. For all his size, he was something of a "delicate flower", or so we liked to joke.

Rangers' travel rations: Barely worth having! (Sounds like an advertising jingle.)

Aww. Dorhaur has won a piece of my heart with his response: I hope I may have earned the same manner of praise from them as your brothers have from you. And it seems Estel is learning valuable lessons about the area and even getting a glimpse of his future life as Strider (though he doesn't know that at this point).

Was this some sort of mind-calling that prompted him to walk towards Archet in his sleep? But instead of rescuing him, his Rivendell family seems to have drawn him into danger...

Author Reply: Aw, I bet he was a cutie though! My friend has a standard schnauzer and a mini schnauzer, but no giant! I do have another friend with a Great Dane. I like dogs, but I’ve never had one. I used to have cats, but right now I just have plants … :-D

I ❤️ Dorhaur….

Just sleepwalking! That’s enough to get him into trouble right now, though - poor kid isn’t catching many breaks these last days!

Thx so much for reading and all your comments - I’m enjoying them!

PSW!

Yup! A lot of my details come from Internet research before I write. Archery, Chainmail that all personal experience but a lot of my horse related knowledge comes from reading Trixie Belden mystery books as a child! LOL!

Love this story! So many twists and turns. The Dream/nightmare read very realistically. Well done!!

((hugs))
