Hahaha! Yes! Awesome and cute story. Loved the idea of the robo-dogs and the team having to play with them to get rid of them (poor puppies). The character voices were great; Ronon especially cracked me up, and the image of Sheppard in the tree--!!

“I believe Ronon is referring to the ones we encountered,” Teyla explained...

Ronon shrugged. “If you say so.”

Hahahaha...I love that their first thought is to give a robo-dog to Ronon.

Finally...yay for having Carson in the story, too!

Thanks, secret santa! <3

I totally forgot to respond to this. Apologies.

I meant to mention that the puppies come straight from your request. Now you're wondering how that can be, most likely.... Well you did say you liked it when they came across some stray Ancient technology!

I chose that literal reading of your request as my starting point.

Ronon does not like those things. I imagine him doing his "Death-to-all-Wraith" glare that he does when he opens the box.

I hoped to have more Lorne too, but in the end Carson decided to make himself visible.

Well I do hope it was somehow enjoyable - it's been one of my more enjoyable writing experiences.

Hahahaha, Sheppard up a tree! Like a kitty, hissing & spitting at the damn dogs circling underneath. If only Lorne could've gone to his commander's rescue then. Both their faces...oh god...*ded*

Good thing Sheppard ordered nobody else to come after them, or Woolsey might've tried to reason with the robo-pups, since he had a Yorkie & all. :P

See now you're coming up with ideas I wish I managed to get in the story!

Best crack ever! The image of Teyla gamely chasing around deranged puppies will stick with me.

I imagine her being very energetic, but trying not to roll her eyes or crinkle her brow in despair.

Crack! Yay! T'was meant to be silly.
