tinysunkern:Prosecutors in the UK asked for a witness report from the officer PC Peach, not knowing that Peach is the name of a police dog from a West Midlands station. Officers jokingly filled in the form above but are now being disciplined for their actions.Angua and Carrot eventually have children, a litter of four: two girls and two boys, just like Angua’s own litter. True enough, the youngest is also a yennork, just like Elsa and Andrei. They call him Peach because his colouring is a perfect blend of Carrot’s violent ginger and Angua’s white blonde. From the time he is weaned, he follows his father and sire everywhere, much to his parents’ consternation. When they try to keep him at home, he chews his way through everything to get out. He is a werewolf; not a dog. He is clever, just as clever as his siblings, as his parents. It is ill- fortune and mischance he is confined to a shape that makes it easy for others to forget that.By the time he is three years old, he has mostly left his puppyhood behind, and is well more mature than his siblings. He might have been born last but in all other ways he is the oldest sibling. He makes it clear to his parents that there is only one path for him through life: Peach wants to be a police dog. There is nothing else he will consider. Angua pleads with him to think about something less dangerous, but he refuses to back down. Like what, Mother? Sheepdog? Wolfhound? I am not meant for rolling hills and pastoral scenes. I am as much a part of this city as Father is, as you have come to be. I will follow you both all the days of my life. Carrot, for his part, said nothing for a long time, listening to the conversation passing between dam and pup. When the growls and whuffs finally trail off, both of them left with nothing to say, he rests his hand on his son’s head, looks in his eyes and says, “I want you to be happy, and to lead the life you deserve. Can you do that in this shape, in this city? Will working in the Watch help you feel that you have done all you that can, all that you want?" Yes, Dad. I need this. "Then tomorrow morning, we’ll get you a badge for your collar and Commander Vimes will swear you in. I’ll see to it that you’re partnered up with Young Sam, at first. You two get on well, and you have a lot in common.”We’ll both have our fathers’ shadows following us, you mean. “There’s that as well. I meant that you both have the City in your bones, and you both have grown up in the Watch. We still don’t have many hereditary coppers, but I suspect that’ll be changing soon.”Peach jumps up and rests both paws on Carrot’s chest as the licks his father’s face. Thanks, Dad. I’ll make you proud.“You always have, Son. We’ll always be proud of you.” -- source link
