Lots of families have pets. It’s fair to say the majority will, at some point in their lives, share their home with an animal friend of some description. They’ll be, for the most part, loved and appreciated and considered part of the family.
But… well, pets are rarely as long-lived as their owners. It’s a sad reality. And on the day when a pet’s journey can no longer go on, the parents might tell a little white lie, rather than break their child’s heart. “Oh, honey, no. Sparky has just… moved. He’s gone to stay at a lovely farm by the coast, that’s all. He’ll live there now, and chase bunnies and get big tasty bones to chew every day. That’s where Sparky is.”
In fact, so many parents have used that lie, one must imagine that this farm on the coast has one heck of a menagerie living there. Except of course, this is Equestria. You don’t have to imagine this farm at all.
Fluttershy, after years of searching, has finally located it.
