| This was such a great story. :-) I loved the happiness and beautiful gifts, the reunions and the weddings and the dogs. Especially the ithildin-wearing dogs ... ;-) Thanks so much for writing! Author Reply: Awwww, thank you, my friend. I got to wallow in joy and fluff and gentle, loving friendships in this tale, my favorite things! When I first started writing the story, I thought the ithildin-wearing dogs would belong to Frodo-lad and Hollyhock, but they had other ideas... :) | |

| Ahh! So cool. Very nice, Gimli ... :-) I also really liked the necklace/hairnet from Arwen, and Aragorn’s message. Very fun chapter, reading about all the gifts — I almost felt like I was watching them be opened myself! Author Reply: Thank you so much! This chapter was the most challenging to write, but what a wonderful time for the hobbits. I know Gimli enjoyed himself as well. | |

| Hee! Love the idea that Aragorn introduced second breakfast to Gondor. Everyone could do w second breakfast ... :-) I’m anxious to see what Gimli has in mind. Author Reply: *grins* I hate to think of the hobbits becoming nothing but a faraway legend in the South. Second breakfast is so down-to-earth. :) | |

| Dear Shirebound, That was a beautiful story with a great ending. Not only that Gimli named his pups after Merry and Pippin (if they knew...), but also that he once again decided against the old rules of the dwarves. Although, "serious intent" is interpretable ;-) Author Reply: Thank you so much, Andrea. This story brought me a lot of joy. Gimli getting pups of his own didn't occur to me until I started writing the last chapter! I love it when stories tell me where they want to go. Thank you, as always, for reading. :) | |

| A fun gift and blessing for them all! Thanks, Gimli - and my dear shirebound for showing us this. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: It's such a joy to imagine these gifts and blessings. Thank you, as always, for reading and for your lovely comments. :) | |

| How absolutely lovely! I have just sat and read from beginning to end - such a good way to spend a cold, wet evening. Author Reply: I love imagining you reading and smiling! Thanks so much for commenting. Yesterday was cold and wet here, and today was chilly and windy, and tomorrow might just be chilly, wooo hooo! :) | |

| What a beautiful ending. It was wonderful that Aragorn and Arwen were able to see the wedding and that Scamp’s many times over offspring were there to ‘help’ celebrate. But mostly, the light from Gimli’s gift was amazing. I loved this. Author Reply: Oh Addie, thank you. I had such a wonderful time writing this story. I really took my time and just let the images and conversations unfold themselves. Scamp's descendants, who would have thought it when we first met that precocious pup? It's been a delight, and your comments have been just as delightful. ♥ | |
