[Before Mick starts the video, he links a few photographs of a very cute schipperke. Then he clicks on the video. He's in his house, wearing a black turtleneck and has a very different dog happily on his lap.]

Has anyone seen this dog? I call him Charcoal. He hangs around Heropa and likes playing with Matches here. [He scratches the dalmatian's ears. At least he's consistent about the theme naming?]

I thought he was a stray but he seems well-fed, clean and doesn’t look like he's got other problems a stray would've. But he's got no collar or ID or nothing. If he does have an owner, they sure do let him run around on his own a lot.

If anyone has any info, lemme know. Don’t want to accidentally steal somebody’s dog.

[He smiles before snapping his fingers, just remembering something.]

Oh! Should ask while I'm here -- any movies out right now you'd recommend?

Is there a quota for number of pets you have to adopt every month and nobody told me?

[Charming.]

[pyrogue]

I only have one dog so far. If you wanna get on somebody's case, Piper is right there. [ Sorry, Bro. ]

[catchacold]

He got very upset when I told his rats to stay away from drugs, so I don't think I'll go anywhere near his case.

But I don't mind your dog. Kinda cute.

[pyrogue]

I'm sure Matches would like you too if you gave her the chance.

[ He gives a nervous smile. ]

[catchacold]

Maybe she already does. Ask her, bet she thinks I'm kinda cute too.

[He's pretty much smiling too. Isn't he cute?]

[pyrogue]

I dunno... [ He lifts Matches, looking into her doggie face. ] Might take her a while.

[catchacold]

Take her a while to warm up to me?

[Feeling cosy? It's the Len effect.]

[pyrogue]

[ Mick will never say no to feeling more warm. ]

Well, you ain't got the cold shoulder from her yet.

[catchacold]

Just gotta hope my luck won't wear out.

But I think we're cool.

[pyrogue]

I'm sure you are. [ Scritches Matches behind her ears. ] But I wouldn't get too cocky.
