Ash, I seem to have adopted a pair of dogs. Aren't they adorable?

Their names are Spencer and Skipper.

Those had better not be who I think they are. If they are, maybe you should just stay in another galaxy, because if their parents don't kill you Momma sure as hell will.

They got better! Besides, it was John's fault.

Bullshit. You were the only one the witch didn't turn into a dog. Therefore, your fault.

subject: Insanity

I'd just like to point out that my life was normal a month ago. There were no cousins turning into dogs, no space aliens, no bounty hunters at family holidays. It was peaceful. Quiet. Even the parts that involved people shooting at me.

I hate you both.

-- Ash

ps. Momma sent us cookies. I ate them all, except the ones I shared with Sam. So there.

Colonels, Majors,

This brings me great amounts of lols...

Excellent, my evil plan is working.

ocea

LOL!

So who all is on Lorne's team at this point? Did he keep SG-22 or take back his old team?

Oh, he kept SG-22, who are all thrilled to be part of this particular adventure. Really.

Well I'm sure it's not the first time they've been turned into other species.

jamoche

Hee! Somehow in all this it's Lorne I feel sorry for :)

Lorne just wishes that he could have a normal team again.

cesy

This is adorable.

Thank you!

kazbaby

Oh this just cracked me up.

I think it's the expression on Skipper's face that really does it for me. You just know that a second later he ran off chasing something.

::snorks coffee up her nose::

Whoops, sorry about that. Really, I am.

Am I to understand that not only did Skipper and Spencer get turned into adorable puppies, but so did the Wichesters and clone!Jack? Or is that wishful thinking on my part?

This whole thing just made me laugh for about 5 minutes-- I love Ash :D

Oh, you understand correctly.

I'm pretty sure Bobby and Ellen would pay good money for those pictures-- especially if the brothers were turned into more delicate dogs (toy poodles!)

:D

Heh, that would be funny, but I actually thought that Dean would be some kind of hunting dog - say, a Blackmouth Cur or a coonhound - while Sam would be one of those gigantic breeds. Lorne is a golden retriever (at least that's what I put in another fic), while Neill is a German Sheppard almost-a-puppy.

Sam would totally be a newfoundland- big and furry, but very sweet dogs.

And I can totally see Neill as a german shepard not-quite-puppy :D

Hilarious! I love Ash's last, ranting email. Poor man--this is soooo not what he signed up for.

He signed up to jump out of planes, not to deal with anything of this crap. Last week he was involved with an alien ritual that left his skin tie-dyed. His wife hasn't stopped laughing yet.

That's amazing. I haven't even read the series from which this comes (yet!) and it made me giggle.

You should be sure to check out

clan_mitchell (and

clanmitchell on LJ) for further adventures of Skipper and Spencer and various other members of Cam's family.

Brilliant!

This seriously, seriously cracked me up. Just what I needed on a dragging Monday.

I'm glad it made you feel better.

Stellar entry to the series!

I think my fav tidbit of humor was the passing ref to clone!Jack-as-puppy. SQUEE!

I am also amused that John wasn't changed into a dog... I suppose the "witch" fancied him, as opposed to some sort of cleverness on his part?

Actually, in my head it's because he said something like, "Oh, yeah, these guys are awesome. They've been working really hard and deserve a vacation," to which the old woman says, "Vacation? Sure."

At which point he had to herd everyone home.

1. Spencer is a lovely lab, but Skipper looks kind of demented.

2. Spencer and Skipper made it to Pegasus and Ash has been read into the SGC!

3. Must Cam blame things on John? Even if it is his fault, doesn't this give The Family more "That Boy" ammo.

4. Brilliant as always. Thank you.

1. Spencer would tell you that his brother always looks demented. He, of course, never looks less than dashing.

2. Indeed, although I'm still in the process of writing the fic to explain how that happened.

3. Eh, it's totally his fault. Besides, no one else will find out anytime soon - it's Classified.

4. You're welcome!
