fandomtownies | Fix&Clean Shop- Thursday Morning

Dwight was normally a fairly patient guy. He was used to waiting for things and even being told when and where he could have or do certain things, thanks to his military experience. But waiting for the call from Sakaki? Waiting to hear if the paperwork for the adoption had been approved? That had been a level of anticipation he had not known for some time! So, when the call had finally come in early that morning, Dwight had naturally been awake and wasted no time getting over to the shelter.

It had been a ~~handwavey~~ busy morning already getting everything back to the apartment and getting things just right for the new pup, which now officially had the name of Snoopy. Downstairs in the shop, Dwight was setting up a small pen area in the corner of the shop, so Snoopy had a safe place to play and rest when he was down in the shop working. Because one thing had become crystal clear to Dwight almost as soon as he had gotten the bundle of furry energy home- Snoopy wanted to be a close to him as possible. While the pup was still excitedly sniffing around and exploring the entire workshop, including the small pile of sawdust, he would still run back to Dwight often, as if making sure he wasn’t going anywhere.

So it was, if anyone stopped in that morning, they would likely have found Dwight putting around the shop and an adorable beagle pup not too far away. And a yet undiscovered delivery of Coca-Cola Classic in old fashioned glass bottles sitting at the end of the counter.

Miguel strolled in, made his usual beeline for the coffee pot, then stopped and slowly turned to look at the puppy.

"That's new, right? I haven't just somehow missed the dog here all the time?"

"Yeah, new as of this morning actually" Dwight said with a grin. He knelt down as the pup tumbled over towards him. "This is Snoopy."

"Snoopy? Seriously?" Miguel shook his head at Dwight and the dog. He gestured at the shop "You think it's safe having...it?...down here with all your tools and things?"

Hey, he lived with Anna. He knew how dumb and enthusiastic dogs could get.

"I happen to think Snoopy is a perfect name" Dwight said, more to the pup than to Miguel. As he stood back up, the tiny fur ball in his arms he walked over to the far side of the shop.

"Figured he has to get used to down here and up in the apartment. Don't want him being upstairs in a crate alone all day while I'm working down here," he said as he leaned over and put the pup in the small dog pen he had gotten set up.

Dwight glanced over his shoulder back to Miguel with a slight smirk. "Coffee is still there waiting for you same as usual." (Ya know, in case you were worried about being completely upstaged by an adorable little puppy.)

Miguel shook his head and finished walking over to the coffee pot. "You really think that pen will hold him? Have you met a dog?"

"Eh, it should work for now" Dwight said with a shrug. "I can always throw something better together. And the little guy will hopefully be a quick learner and wont need it all that often."

"Or he'll be a quick learner and figure his way out of it fast," Miguel pointed out. He slurped his coffee and went over to scritch the dog behind his ears. "You're going to be trouble, aren't you?" he told it.

The pup turned to look at Miguel as he enjoyed the scratching, tail wagging a mile a minute. he gave a playful yip, as if he knew Miguel was talking about him and was answering him.... if only either of them spoke puppy.

"Well, I guess we will see how it all plays out" Dwight said as he leaned against the counter, arms folded across his chest, as he watched them. "Pretty sure he will be worth any trouble he might get into."

"Good luck with that," Miguel said cheerfully. "And try not to let him hang out with Anna too much; the stupid might be catching."

Anna was sweet. Anna was also not the brightest thing around.
