| Your quote at the beginning of the chapter made me laugh -- what a great way to tie into the book! :-) This was a fun story, and just filled with cuteness. Definitely nothing wrong with that ... :-P Thanks for writing! Author Reply: I do have a love for fluffy, gentle tales! Thank you so much for reading. | |

| I love the introduction to Scamp in this story. Wise Bilbo to know how to help Frodo with his fear of dogs. And of course without Scamp, there would have been no amazing discoveries in the cellars of Bag End. Lovely addition to the 'Quarantined Au'. Author Reply: Thank you, Addie! I was writing about pups so many years before I actually got one of my own. I love this "Au" and I'm so happy other folks love it also. This was such a simple and gentle tale, but required a lot of research to link it to canon... my favorite kind of story. *hugs you* | |

| Puppies, puppies, puppies. I remember the teeth sharp enough to pierce ears. One thing you didn't describe Scamp getting into was a down quilt. Now that's fun (for the dog of course). You'll find feathers for a week. Loved the story. Author Reply: Thank you. How I loved writing this! I remember what (joyful) havoc our own puppy caused, many years ago, and I look forward to someday having another dog of my own. | |

| Marvelous--that's all I can say. Thanks for a morning of pleasure as I read this for the MEFAs. Author Reply: Thank you so much! I really appreciate your lovely comments. *Scamp licks your nose* | |

| Young Frodo got to meet an Elf! The culture shock between Elf and Hobbit was funny and heart-warming (the Elf's befuddlement at the hobbits packing him goodies and insisting he sleep in Bag End in a bed) and the hobbits shock that the Elf would even consider not doing so! Scamp was endearing, "warm and fussy " as you intended, but the best part was seeing the glimpse of homelife at Bag End. And the friendship between the Bagginses and Estel and Sam and his family. And the hints of grand history, the glories of a lost and forgotten age. There were too many favorite parts - I can't list them all! Author Reply: It's amazing how long I was thinking about this story before actually finding time to write it. It grew and evolved into something I never even imagined, at the beginning. Thank you so much for your lovely words. | |

| Awww! That was unbelievably cute! I'm not usually one to go in for the sappy kind of fics, but this series has me hooked. Sometimes you just need a bit of light-hearted fluff, right? And this sates my appetite for it. Thanks for some wonderfully smushy scenes! More in context with the story, I loved the incorporation of Lindon (when do we ever hear of Aragorn travelling West?) and of Luthien and Beren - a truly remarkable and original plot twist. Kudos to you! Author Reply: Thank you! Even the fluffiest, smushiest stories can still have the magic of past Ages woven into them. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! | |

| A wonderful, tender tale, full of love. I shall have to read it through again now that it is all here. I'm in need of such moments. Your writing is magic! Thank You! Pearl Took Author Reply: Thank you, Pearl. I don't know where this little tale (tail?) came from, but I'm glad it did. | |

| what a wonderful story from beginning to end. loved it all. The part at the end about Estel's cloak, was very good. I liked the story he made up about the trolls, make a real Baggins out of him yet. looking forward to more Author Reply: Thanks, grumpy! Yes, there's always a chance that Estel can become an official Baggins... someday. | |

| Now I can't wait to get home and see my Scamp! What a lovely, hobbity conclusion to a fun fic. I loved the way the Gaffer tried to appear nonchalant about Scamp even though he loves her to death, I adored Frodo and Bilbo's farewell to Estel but most of all I can't get enough of the fact that there really are gold and jools buried in the Hill at Bag End. All those rumors were right after all! Who'd have thunk it;-). Great job, hon. Author Reply: Thank you! Hee hee -- that Gaffer... tough as tree roots on the outside, but such a softie on the inside. And wouldn't we all love to get just one look at all the "jools"? Sigh. | |
