A Story Begun
“You really want this pup, lass?” Sam asked Elanor, hanging over the box where Pippin’s dog lay with her brood.
She looked up earnestly. “Oh, yes, Sam-dad. I’ve always wanted a dog!”
He shook his head. “Folks about the Hill won’t know what t’think of a dog in Bag End.”
“Why didn’t Uncle Frodo have a dog?”
His mouth twitched. “First, dogs made his uncle as raised him sneeze. But it was those dogs of Farmer Maggot’s as chased him off his farm back when Frodo was but a lad still as turned him off dogs for sure. You see, ….”
I hope to meet my own new dog fairly soon, perhaps next week!

Date: 2016-03-25 05:15 pm (UTC)After my Pandora disappeared in January, her brother became very clingy and uncertain, apparently afraid I, too, might disappear as she did. I finally found a breeder in Oregon and brought home Melian two weeks ago. She was answering to her new name immediately, and she and Brendi are now so close. He still likes to sleep on my shoulder to apparently pin me down, but I put up with it gladly, knowing he is no longer alone and happy in his new companionship.
