Love this story, and hope both Sam/Sweetie and Clara can come to a true understanding between owner and pet.
I like that Clara is starting to understand she can't just discard her previous history with Sweetie, since she was a mean girl student of hers that she has history with, and that she personally knows her parents. It's important to guide her new pet through this terrifying new time, and not neglect her like she had for the first week, making the young teen feel truly lost and scared.
I also hope Sam comes to a real concrete understanding that, fair or not, she's not an independent being with a future of her own choosing anymore, she needs to find peace, and I hope, happiness where she can find it with the circumstances dealt to her, and hopefully keep a friendly relationship with her lovely owners, regardless of how often they 'use' her.

So I had is thought I do like scenes where the pet has to be regersteres with the gov and maybe chipped and colored (just to help seal the deal for the tiny) would that be a scene typing would be interested in.
Also I love the playfulness Clara has, also I love the hints you made with toys and I can’t wait to read them.
I like what you have written but I do think you need an editor or to give your sentences a few passes. Just a friendly suggestion.
I can’t wait to read the next chapter
Author's Response: Sam is already chipped, I didn't want to re-tread too much ground from Tiny Vet there, whilst despite having a few difference in its structure is mostly set within the same sorta world as Anniversary Present.
I'm happy you like Clara, I'm trying to go for someone who never really intended to own a shrinkee who is slowly starting to embrace it with all the fun along the way.
Yeah my grammar/editing is quite lacking, I do apologise there - I try to do as much clean up as I can but its always been a struggle for me.
I'll be back onto this shortly, I'm currently trying out another story idea as a mini-break.
All the best!

another nice chapter i love it
for me personally I like the idea of Sam still being treated unintentionally like a child or a tiny puppy. I think the irritating baby treatment and never being taken seriously despite all her effort to get the giant grownups attention is what makes this journey fun. think about the old movie the incredible shrinking women , when Pat was tiny she was screaming and jumping all the time to get people attention but they just never take her seriously because of her small size.
I would like to see Sam meeting other people and see how the dynamics will be when people talk to her like as if she is a baby, it would be interesting to see her get angry and try to attack someone's nose or toe with her tiny punches and how people think she looks adorable trying to be all brave and tough. maybe having a time out would also be appropriate for her new stats
you probably would like to consider verity of elements to add to the story such as , real pets, teens and old friends maybe some babysitting by some kid Sam used to babysit when she was normal.
overall great story , looking forward for more
Author's Response: Oh don't worry, I don't think Clara will ever see her pet as a full on person, its more just realising she might take a bit more time to adapt to her new life, Clara being a more authoritative owner who is still compassionate towards her charge feels the ideal ground given her teaching background and the fact she's already raised a kid.
Sam being more intentionally violent is a bit more difficult for her, she's more of a verbal fighter she's actually quite a wuss when it comes to that - not a great trait finding yourself tiny though as she's basically terrified of her own shadow now.
I'm aiming to keep this, or at least what is the first part of Anniversary contained to Sam, Clara and Henry, it is there alone time together this weekend as they begin bringing the new pet under the fold but I do have several strands/ideas for a second part that'll incorporate other characters - Sweetie however is a bit more of an indoor pet for Clara I should stress.
Thank you again for your kind review!

By the way I know You don’t have it in your categories but would you be opposed to a sex scene with a little nastier elements (water sports or other nasty elements) I do understand though if that’s not your thing and I could live without.
Author's Response: Not really my cup of tea sorry, I guess at most it might be mild bad odour elements but it'll be fairly tame.

Ok so that is exactly what I have been looking for in these types of stories an honest talk between owner and pet where pet can vent and owner listens and maybe even vent. Cara just became best owner to. Smut wasn’t needed this was. I loved this chapter.
Also personally I think she should go back, up the butt, but that’s me, she’s a sextoy pet she needs to get used to dealing with parts of the body that can be considered unpleasant.
Author's Response: Ever since the first bedroom tryst Clara is really opening to all the new possibilities now with her new bedroom pet :)

So i have an idea, so you made sweetie a swimmer, why not have her swim, it would be good for her ( pets need to excercise after all). Also I hope they get her a better room then that pet carriet, doesnt sound very good for her. Personally I am for treating shrinky pets as not animals, they get a actuall place with a bed and a desk and some thing like books or something depending on the shrinky, especially if there good. Sweetie has been reall goood, she needs a reward I think.
I hope Cara comes to really care for sweetie, right now she is a new thing, and she isnt acting like she got an actual pet, and also that no pets at the table thing needs to go, sweetie may be a pet but she isnt an animal she can be easily taught how to behave at the table, ( i know the boudaries thing but come on thats to demeaning in my opinion).
Just my thoughts.
Author's Response: Thoughts are always appreciated! Don't worry the swimming thing will eventually come into play!
As for the table rules, well Clara is still a bit more old fashioned on her view of shrinkees, its just how she was raised there's a disconnect there for her that's socially engrained, she doesn't quite realise how demeaning it can be, its not a lived experience for her after all she's just trying to look after a newly shrunk pet in her eyes.
I've no doubt Clara really does care for her, its just a learning curve for both them at the moment.
Thank you again for the review!

Outstanding chapter. I'm glad to see some complexities coming out with Henry. Gentle, yet not opposed to letting the little chick play with his dong. That description you gave about Sam hugging his member for that emotional connection she misses, was endearing. Even if it was his dick, haha. You planted a good visual in my head, lmao. Must be so hard for Sam to get abandoned by her family, that she seeks connection with a stranger's dick. Good stuff. Definitely the highlight of the chapter for me.
I small criticism ... There were times when you swapped perspectives in the narration and told it 1st person from Sam's POV before switching back to 3rd. This wasn't intentional, right?
This is one of few stories I look forward to reading. Finally, I can read some giant male action. And the fact this is turning more into a story, rather than a quick smut read, has me excited for every chapter.
Also, that's so cool you read my story! Thanks for your comment about that!
Author's Response: Thank you for your review again! you really encouraged me to make Henry take a more active role in the story and its really helped to give Clara someone to bounce off of more naturally, Sam's in a bit spiral but she'll get out of it eventually hopefully!
Apologises for the perspective changes, I sometimes lose track myself and I shall try and go back and amend when I get the time.
I'm hoping there's a bit for everyone in this re: plot and smut, rather than straight to the action (though it will come of course!)

When you put out the first chapter I thought the story would be only a couple chapters total, but you really have the opportunity to make this lengthy if you so choose. I love stories about how characters adapt to the dynamic of a shrinkie where society sees them as less than human. Not just the shrunken character, but the others as well and you are certainly presenting your 3 main characters viewpoints very well.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see if you circle around to Sam's parents again (would be interesting to see what they think after Sam has been a pet for several months). Part of me hopes she ends up where she originally thought she was going after having become a better person, but perhaps she will be truly happy with her owners. Seems she will need someone her own size at some point though.
Keep it up, and thanks.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I'm still unsure just how far I want to go with this story, I worry being too ambitious and leaving it unfinished and it wouldn't be fair on the readers
Atm I do have some solid ideas how I'd be taking a 'Part 2' set a few weeks maybe months later to this story and you've already caught onto those hooks a bit, basically I feel like the end of the weekend holiday would be a good place to end 'Part 1' of the story and then build on from there.
I'm not quite sure how I'd handle Sam reuniting with her parents, its definitely something on my mind but its like the disconnect between human and shrinkee I do worry the logic/mentality can feel a bit forced so its more throwing that further down the road.
However I do want a bit more of Sam's past life to come into play, if she does start getting comfortable with her owners having reminders can damage her progression is some good fuel for the fire.
I do enjoy the violent shrinky stories of course, but here I'm trying to address the scales a bit here, I think in the end Sam will hopefully find peace, but who knows what that'll be, I don't! haha - I tend to write from a character reaction driving the plot a bit there, so we'll see where Sam, Clara and Henry lead us.
Again thank you for the review and happy to hear anymore thoughts in the future! I'm looking forward to more Shrinkie Haven.

Great chapter, I love how things are going in this story. I was thinking it would be awesome if you would share a photo to a specific character from a movie so we can have a closer reference to the characters in the story
also I loved the attitude and the atmosphere at the start of this chapter where Sam was in her cage eating and remembering this brilliant line of her lovely teacher pets are not allowed in the dinner table i also liked how the teacher is not threaten by her with her husband at all she really see her like a small monkey who can speak she is her tiny little pet no more especially when she refer to her self as the real women and Sam is just like a child the most amazing thing about all that is that her teacher really love her.
i wonder if you can ad a small tiny finger monkey as their real pet and it live inside a glassy habitat with tall glassy walls for the tiny pets pov but for normal humane it is just a small cage, its maybe in their home and maybe the giants talk to the tiny monkey and Same the same way as if they really cant see deference between the tow of them and the teacher put Sam inside the habitat with the tiny finger size monkey to get to know each other but Sam scream and freak out and trying to jump to get out of the glassy cage to escape the giant now taller than her minister monkey but the walls are just too high for her to reach and escape while her teachers face looming over in the sky like a sun looking at her thinking how cut the pets look playing down there in their small world. just an idea popped in my head
its also nice to see Sam trying so hard to be talked to like a normal human but all she gets all the time is just the baby talk
Author's Response: All the giants here do know deep down she's still a person, but its simply uncomfortable to admit it out loud but the entire appeal of owning shrinkees is the control over a human, they just don't call them human of course, its purely come about as a cultural thing in this world, and given her size she has less mobility/freedom then a traditional pet so she's in her own category to them - a more apt term would be a slave really but that doesn't have the best connotations to a regular person, pet however? its cute! friendly, implies they are well cared for and looked after.
Its why I'm not interested in bringing any feral animals in, any comparison there is purely how Sam is being subtly degraded and dehumanised.
Henry is probably the most uncomfortable with the arrangement but even he see's the fun out of it and how even Sweetie doesn't entirely hate some aspects of her new life so he sees it more as teething problems with the tiny, but Clara? she's perfectly fine with it, its simply normal - Sam is stuck in this and has no choice but to make the best out of it however she can really.
Still the relationship between owners and pet is brand new here, there wouldn't have been much interaction in the week before the anniversary to help let her settle in but now they've really started getting involved with the tiny - hopefully for Sam's sake they can reach a balance that works for them.
Thank you again for your review! hopefully more soon.

So this is an interesting story, i like it and hopte there is more.
So you are quickly moving up my favorite aurthor list on this site. I adore the pet/owner dichotomy, but there really isnt enought actuall pet stories. So i am really liking your stories.
For an idea I would like a chapter dealing with sweeties (nice name) life after the owners get back to normal life, does she accompany them to work is she worn, is she put in certain ares while they work. Also maybe an epilogue chapter dealing with months or years later, how she has adapted to being a pet, living sex toy.
Author's Response:
You are too kind!
I've got a good idea for a sequel story to Anniversary don't you worry! will probably be set a few months after, but I'm looking forward to writing more Sweetie and her loving owners, Sweetie still has a lot to adjust too of course, she's scared and confused and unsure which path to follow.
Of course, she's a pet, its just a case of how long she'll try and struggle against it, Clara just think its cute the struggles as she has no real choice either way and you don't deal with annoying brats in a school for years without a thick skin and patience.
As for more regular use in clothing, shoes etc - I think they are a bit more careful then a lot others would be with pet shrinkees, they don't want to hurt her but I think once she settles more into this life that safety net will whittle away, after all sometimes all you need during a stressful day is a little shrinkee trapped on you!

I really think this story is amazing! I love your writing style, the way you describing the characters and how they are like. I especially like how Clara and her husband are kind and caring toward Sam, even though Sam cant see it cuz she is so small. It’s interesting how Sam’s situation isn’t about cruelty but just the huge difference in their sizes and perspectives. Clara is being loving and maternal but she sees Sam just as a smart version of some kind of mouse, sometime over loving is kinnda annoying like when a person keep talking to you in a baby voice cuz they love you a lot and then you
I’d love to see Clara’s daughter in this story if there is part 2.
It would also be great if future stories could include daughters and sons, whether they’re teens and show how they’d interact with a tiny person like Sam. just to see how younger characters might handle and treat the tiny differently.
also hope you would make part 2 of the tiny friend vet clinic
Thank you for creating such a unique and warm story. I look forward to seeing more
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Its certainly a perspective I've wanted to see more of in size fiction, what ownership of a person actually entails with well meaning individuals whilst still having its natural rough edges.
A smart mouse is a perfect description of how this society views those that shrink, of course it has its cruel edges but those are far from the norm - they genuinely want to care for them, they just aren't quite.. people anymore, it can be hard for them to take them seriously when their voices sound like squeaks and they can be so utterly fragile, that unintentional degrading comes mainly from a duty of care.
If it goes further I'm sure the kids will turn up - finding out your parents suddenly have a pet that's younger then even them might not go down well.
I think what doesn't help for Sam is her owner is a teacher, so its natural to talk down to those younger than her, its not something she can really switch off, she didn't want a student she knew as a pet, she just wanted a pet and thought she'd be helping two close friends at the same time I thought was a neat change from the 'teacher/student' size change stories (as much as I still love the more traditional ones!).

Not really a writer, and you came out with this banger of a story? You wrote it so well, and it flowed wonderfully from scene to the next.I hope to see more from you, because this is some high-quality stuff.
So, giant couples stories are my favorite. And here, not only did you write about giant couples, but there was an SW! A bratty SW being used as a sex toy by an older couple! Amazing! I love this premise so much, my eyes were glued reading it from beginning to end. The couple tying the girl to the giant member was so great—I can't believe how underutilized it is. And it worked so well here. I don't know if you plan on adding more to this story, but I think anything you come up with will be awesome. M/f interactions are near non-existent on this site, so if you write any scene from that front, that'd be cool!
Author's Response:
Arghhh! thank you so much!
I have to say going for that was partially inspired by your Liam character, I've never really considered couples before (its not my go to) but you really warmed me up to the possibilities, I'm a massive fan of Downsizing and this idea well it just got stuck in my head and it grew life from there.
This actually began life by accident, and was meant to be a smaller story branching off from another story I was developing but it got away from my attention a bit (bit more traditional F/M), I'm up for the occasional cruel giantess story but I do feel there's a bit of a blindspot to the more unintentionally cruel? or at least disinterested in their status/plight, the idea of just tinies as pets feels enough fuel enough there then having to physically hurt them and then contrasting that to just how normal the regular people are then making them the typical hot psychopath.
Basically make it feel natural so Clara and Henry are just.. regular people, a couple who adore each other, making them feel hopefully grounded (as far as you can in this genre) and build from there, I've a massive soft spot for the domineering older character type typically having someone who's a bit more naïve to the world, so they'll never quite take the younger seriously.
I know this story will likely go under the radar, not quite the usual reader's taste I feel but your review means the world to me so thank you again! I look forward to your future work massively.
