This was a delight. Thank you.

As for the 'tongued by a dog' bit? Been there, done that. But I did not get that positive a reward for the despoilment
And, yeah, he did just 'mind f**k him. Good way to start a relationship!

Take me to your Master? What happened to Leader? :))
That ought to go real well with Nick's cold. And Monroe will be even a greater 'surprise'

Delightful idea/story.

Hilarious! cute too!

Bwahahahhahaaa! Poor Bud, he really is a wuss! lol At least Monroe went on the counter defense. lol Too cute!

This was very cute and fantastically funny. I loved Jack. And the final lines remind me of any time I've ever bonded with a new pet.

Fantastic work. Clear writing, balanced description (neither too much or two little), nice details and little descriptions ('perma-rain', 'Keep Portland Weird', the tangent on the homeless) - this fic has it all. You're wonderful. Cheers. :)

Hee, hee. Love tiny, fierce Jack. He's going to be such a terror to Monroe.

I, read your story it was wonderful and awesome. Please do keep working on it.

Wow, that was entertaining, refreshing and a marvellous start to a rainy summer's day!
The characterisation was spot on, and I had a really, really good laugh at the line about Nick being French kissed by a dog.. so much so, my Yorkies wondered what their Mummy was laughing at, between looking cute and scoffing my vegetarian sausages.
Thanks for sharing this little gem., Ruth

poor bud! though jack is kinda cool - and almost as snarky as monroe ;-) any chances for a sequel? it would be so cool the next time nick and monroe head out to fight the baddie of the week to have jack along...or better, brainstorming at monroes! those two would snark at each other till nick goes up the wall - or monroe finds some doggie treat to bribe jack ;-)
