The fandom needs more Dief POV fics!!

I love the simplistic way Dief characterizes the nouns around him. Box-talls and turtle-friends and kibble-food! (Butt-of-skunk, eww.) I'm also quite amused by Dief's mangled interpretation of human words, although I admit I spent far too long trying to puzzle out what Ray was actually saying. I'm easily distracted. ^^;

I live in the land of Dunkin Donuts, so the spelling didn't bother me at all. But (to go a little on a tangent) perhaps because of Dunkin's prevalence, I remember when we learned "doughnut" in a fourth grade spelling unit, and a kid in my class raised his hand and asked the teacher, "What's a duff-nut?" =_=;

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I really enjoyed your fic! Have a doughnut. :)

You know, I knew people would do that (try to figure out what Ray was saying) so I made it as hard as I could. So hard that I've even forgotten what the heck one of them is. Hee.

And don't dis butt-of-skunk! Some of my favorite not-wolfs adore it.

Thanks for the doughnut, bonzaineko. (is that a character? like, Wilykit on steroids?)

I loooooove that Dief is worried Ray is going to eat his kibble!

And YAY YOU'RE BACK.

[arrow00]

hey, you. yeah, I finally got a WHOLE DAY OFF. sheesh. but I have to work tomorrow.

Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! Oh, DIEF!

Turtle doesn't understand, but Dief knows Fraser-brother (and even Ray-brother) will overhear.

HEEEE!!! You pistol! :D

Dief tried to give him his own kibble-food, even though he was hungry, so hungry-hungry-hungry

D'aaaw. And Ray's so good to Dief. *happy place* :-)

[arrow00]

eee! yay. thanks, greenie!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Turtle doesn't understand! Oh, Dief. HEE.

[arrow00]

Turtles don't have many opinions, and most of them involve lettuce.

TYK!

I have great love for this. Dief's POV is awesome, especially with how he hears (yes hears, sneaky not-deaf thing that he is) just the important-to-him parts of sentences, and talks with Turtle, and thinks Ray might steal his kibble.

Absolutely fun to read!

sneaky not-deaf thing

heh, nice Dief-speak.

thanks.
