[This evening, Clem is outside, a small puppy on the end of a pink leash beside her. It currently seems to be happier rolling around in the grass rather than listening to the little girl trying to get it to do a trick.]

Sit. Siiiiiit. See, like this. [She tries to push the puppy's rump down, but it thinks it's playtime and rolls around some more. It gets Clem to laugh.]

No, no... [Sigh.] Okay, maybe we'll play for a little bit. It's time for a break, anyway.

And your friend is?

Part of the job, yeah. I'm a pet detective. When people lose their pets, or they get stolen by uncaring jerks, I find them and bring them home. Or, if someone's not treating an animal the way they should, I find them a good home.

At least........ that's what I did before I landed in your duck pond over there.

Copper. [He's a red golden retriever. Very creative.]

... whoa, that's a real job?

[acesarewild]

Sure is. I don't know if enough people have pets for it to be a valid job around here, but ... there are still animals. So whether it's enough to make a living off or not, I still intend to do it.

[he waves the hand with the kibble in it and glances toward Copper] May I? If he's already eaten I don't wanna overfeed the little fella.

[willrememberthat]

You can feed him. He hasn't had lunch yet.

Gravyyyyy. [he holds out his hand] Hey, there, Copper. Wanna little snack, buddy? 'Course y'do.

[as he's waiting, he looks up at Clem, curiously] Where'd you get him? I haven't seen many strays since I showed up...
