Title: Visit
Prompt: "old acquaintance"

I hadn't seen him in months.

But here he was now, standing on my doorstep.

He was the last thing I expected to find when I heard a rap at my door.

An old acquaintance.

The look of longing in his big, brown eyes.

The corners of his mouth set in an awkward smile.

His long tongue dripping drool on my doormat.

It was the pup.

A smile stretched across my face as I crouched down and stoked the top of his head.

"Hey there, Colonel," I cooed.

He nudged a ball toward me, wagging his tail wildly in anticipation.

I tossed it and smiled as he dashed after it.

Thanks for visiting, my friend.

Author's Note: See my Canidae drabbles (and soon to be extended fic) for the first adventures of Jack and the pup. :)

You are welcome on the help. You didn't need it after all. *pets the pup*

I will have to go to bed now. Walking through the drool that was dripping on my door mat when I watched "Prometheus Unbound" again today. ;)

Happy 2005 to you and your family.

*hugs*

stoopbeck, I hope you've given up on One Tree Hill.

Gah, have I ever. One Tree Hill is dead to me. I would be perfectly willing to watch something to take its place! Woo, another show!

And oh, yeah, scenes with those other people, too.

Hee... yeah, I only watch LOTR for Pippin... it gets kind of annoying when all those other guys hog the air time. So is the EE of ROTK any good?

And have an awesome New Year... good luck with that hangover. I've got a Smallville hangover myself; I spent most of the afternoon and evening watching reruns... and I may have gotten Mom hooked! Woo!

Ooh! Well... with the promise of more Pippin, I shall endeavor to watch the EE.

*is also geek and Pippin fan*

*squees in anticipation of more Pip*

Whee! Pippin... is the cutest. Always and forever. *sigh* And... I'd love to watch ROTK's EE, but... I'm one of those diehard The-Books-Are-Better crazy people, and it upsets me when they leave out perfectly good scenes that I've already heard aren't in the EE... but I'll watch it anyway, since I hear it has more Pip in it!
