Part 18 of 5000 question meme.

You all have been pretty great to me so here are a few trinkets... (all sent over on the Daedalus..)

lieu_murphy: one of these puppies. Note: It stuns, Murph. Use it well.

builfromscraps: a six pack of this stuff. Note: Find someone cool to drink this with. I know they won't be as cool as me, but... You'll find someone.

*has been scowling like crazy the last couple of days, but at the sight of the puppy this has been downgraded to heavy frowning*

....

[colonelinblack]

You're welcome, La$$iter. If you don't call him Lassie, I might cry.

[det_lassiter]

..... I can't keep him. I don't have time to look after a puppy.

[colonelinblack]

Don't be stupid, of course you do. He's house-trained and everything.

I'm sure Shawn can help...

[det_lassiter]

Puppies are full of bounce and energy. They need so much time and attention if you want any kind of hope of them growing into a well adjusted adult dog. I don't have that kind of time.

...... What kind of breed is it?

I won't hold my breath.

[colonelinblack]

I think it's some kind of mutt, maybe a corgi mix?

So you'll what, just throw him out on the street? I bet he already loves you...

[det_lassiter]

Of course not.... I don't know, can't you take him back where you got him.

A corgi? He's not going to get very big then, I guess....

[colonelinblack]

Nope, the perfect indoor pet.

And I'm serious, Shawn would so help. And he has like, boundless amounts of energy as you well know.

[det_lassiter]

... But would it be able to keep up with me on my morning run?

Yes, I'm very aware of that, but I'm not going to start inviting him over to play with my puppy. Have you any idea what that sounds like?

[colonelinblack]

I'm sure he would. My experience with herding dogs is they don't even need leashes once they get used to you. *shrugs*

...Like two friends chilling out with a dog? This isn't all that unheard of in the heterosexual world, Lassiter.

[det_lassiter]

Hmmm....

It's the friends part where plausibility falls down.

[colonelinblack]

What about your partner? Jules, was it. Shawn was telling me you two were close.

[det_lassiter]

He told you that? Actually said that we were close? I suppose that we do get along fairly well now, you have to get to know your partner when you're a cop. And I'm sure she would love to meet the puppy...

[colonelinblack]

He did... and I'm sure she would. Women love puppies. *nods*
