I think I love Mildred! What a great story. Boris the agitated pony, Mildred and her water colors.

You did a wonderful job on Mildred's pov. I love how she sees the boys and how insightful she really is.

I had been thinking about trying this prompt but I'm glad I didn't - you did a much better job than I would have.

Thanks for reading. I'm glad you like Mildred.

I'm sure you would have done a wonderful job with writing this - I was late to claiming and really worried that I wouldn't do well with the prompt. It turned out to be fun though.

Lovely fic, I could see Mildred so well, her view of the boys was spot on , loved this bit.
" Just because that one had long hair didn't necessarily mean he was a drug addict, and just because the other one didn't appreciate a well-presented miniature window-garden didn't mean he wasn't a perfectly nice young man."
made me giggle.

Love Mildred's matter-of-factness :)

Thank you!

Mildred is fab! I liked her perpetual judgments on Sam's hair, her curiousity, and Boris the Pony. Fun fic, and so unusual.

[sameuspegasus]

Thank you! Sam's hair deserves to be judged :)

Something I may not have mentioned earlier: I love that you named the pony Boris. And OUTSIDER POV! =)

OUTSIDER POV!

I always wanted to get a dog and call it Boris. The pony-naming was an extension of that.

One day you may still have a dog and call him Boris. Or her Boris.
