Hey!

Is anybody reading this and enjoying it as much as I do?

Here is the link to the author's livejournal and the first chapter:

AU!AU set in San Francisco. Jack Twist had a chance encounter with a veterinarian one day, didn’t know the shy vet, and his black and white terrier, would have a permanent place in his heart.

I'm reading it, Mel!   ;D  I'm not quite caught up, but, yes, I'm really enjoying it too.  This story has such a fresh, sweet quality to it.  And I used to have my own little Flea - so I'm loving that part, too. 

I'll try to get caught up soon!

Glad you posted this.   :-*

Yep.  My little Mindy.  Sniff.

I haven't heard anything about the writer - I guess I should check out her(?) LJ.  Maybe she's written other fics.

Thanks for starting this thread Bud.  I've seen mentions of this story here and there, but haven't read it myself yet.  From what you say, it sounds like a really good read.  So, I'll definitely give it a try.

cheers,
Amanda

        Yes I too am reading it.  Enjoying it very much.  I got a late start on it.
I have started waiting until there are a few chapters up before I start one.  But I have really liked this one.  Its very entertaining.



     Beautiful mind

Chapter 15 is up!

I'm caught up on this fic.  It keeps getting better and better and it has some of the best OC's - quirky, funny, wise, and sometimes exasperating.

Yes Marie, isn't it a wonderful story to read. I'm enjoying it very much. And you're right, the good OC's are one of the reasons why this story is so good. I really like Flea... ::)  ;D

Have you read the author's other story Wiser Time? It's finished and it's good.

Hey, Fabienne!  Great to see you.  No I haven't read Wiser Time - thanks for the rec.  I'll definitely look it up!

Thanks,
