A/N: This one’s a double drabble





Entering the supermarket to pick up something nice for dinner, Ianto was pulled up short by an officious looking woman who stepped in front of him, barring his way.


“What have you got there?” she asked. She was a complete stranger to Ianto and at first he wasn’t at all sure she was speaking to him. He glanced quickly around, but as far as he could see, there was nobody else nearby.


“Are you talking to me?” he asked.


“Yes, I am. You do know that dogs aren’t allowed in the store, don’t you? It’s unhygienic.”


Now Ianto was completely baffled. What was this odd woman talking about? “Dogs?”


“Your puppy,” the woman explained, gesturing at the fluffy bundle cradled in Ianto’s arms.


Ianto was incensed. “Excuse me? This isn’t a dog, it’s my daughter!” he snapped.


“It is? Oh. Sorry, my mistake. She just…” The woman trailed off at his glare and scurried away, embarrassed.


Ianto looked at Meriel, bundled up against the cold, and cursed Jack for dressing her in the furry all-in-one suit with the floppy ears on the hood.


“What’s up?” Jack asked, joining him.


“Thanks to you, some woman just mistook Meriel for a puppy!”

OOps, but many people would be unhappy to see a non guide dog in a food shop. To be honest I wouldn't mind

Me neither, as long as it was kept under control. Ianto is just feeling insulted on Meriel's behalf, but Jack no doubt thinks it's hilarious!

Thank you!
