Title: Gone to the Dogs
Author: ladyofthethread
Rating: G
Word count: 100
Characters involved: Count D, Leon
Notes: Um, anyone still here? o_o; I thought I’d do a drabble for the New Year. Although my family has never celebrated it as such since we only have pet fish, I’ve read that the second day of the Chinese New Year (today) is considered to be the birthday of all dogs. And unrelated, but I recently went through the community and gathered all my drabbles in one place in case anyone ever wants to reread the older ones.
Barks filled the air as canines of all breeds romped amid the Chinese New Year’s flowers that decorated the petshop.
“Count, what’s with all the dogs?” Leon sat down and was immediately surrounded.
“Today is the second day of the New Year,” D explained as he groomed a Pomeranian. “The Chinese consider it the birthday of all dogs.”
Leon helped himself to a cookie from a dainty china dish and made a face as he chewed. “Yuck, this tastes awful.”
D replied dryly as he moved on to another dog. “Detective, you’re eating the treats for the dogs’ birthday party.”
