So, this is how Scamp came to live in Bag End, is it? Marvelous! So nice to see her taking over Frodo so quickly!

Author Reply: Thank you! I had such a joyous time giving Frodo a mischievous and loving pup.

Finally got a few moments to read chapter 1, but no time for chapter 2! Ah, well, something to look forward to. I just love the "realness" of your stories...

His usually stern countenance softened as he watched Frodo instinctively cup his hands around the puppy on his chest as if to shield her from… something.

The tiny dog inspected his sleeve and nosed inside it.

You’ve moved right in, haven’t you?” Bilbo whispered, crouching to pat the dog on the head. “You rascal.”

The pup thumped her small tail on the bed, narrowly missing Frodo’s nose. Bilbo chuckled and gave her a few more pats, before blowing out the lamp and leaving the room -- feeling quite satisfied with the evening’s outcome.

Moments like these "make" a story and bring the characters to life. Write on!

Awwwww!!!!!! That is such a cute beginning! Scamp is too cute! And the way she just sort of picked Frodo was so adorable. I can hardly wait to see where this story goes. I'm going to guess that Scamp digs up whatever treasure is hidden in Bag End. I'll just have to wait and see, won't I? Update soon, I'm dying to know!

Hey! I'm back! I love the beginnings of this story! Scamp is such a cute name for a dog! I'm glad you didn't name it Anna though, because that is my name. Don't get me wrong, it was a good idea, but all the same, I'm glad you didn't. It would have been weird reading a story about a dog with my name. But I would have read it anyway! Your stories are simply irresistible! Keep up the great work!

Oh, J! This is fabulous! I am so in love with Frodo and little Scamp. :) I just love your "Quarantined" universe and having a new story written there makes me want to squeal and jump for joy! Eeeeeee! I can hardly wait for Frodo to introduce Scamp to Estel.

Hi Shirebound,

What a lovely little chapter to open with - such a great heart warming story already - makes your heart swell.

Very well done - keep up the great work.

LOL - I particularly like this as I sleep with my dog and three cats....best housemates I have ever had! I like this start, and young Frodo is just terrific in his fear of dogs. Farmer Maggot may have gotten his point across, but it has taken poor Frodo a long time to get over it!

Oh Shirebound, your stories never disappoint nor cease to amaze me!

What a sweet, wonderful, and clever idea on Bilbo's (and yours) part to give Frodo a sweet, if yet to be seen mischievous, puppy to care for and to love! I am definitely looking forward to more of this story and I'll know I will love it as much as I have your other stories!

Janet,

What a lovely beginning. I can just imagine Frodo bonding with a fellow orphan.
How clever of Bilbo (!) to think of getting a pet to help fill the void in his life.
