MikeMThe only problem is, what IS the long story?
The ending did explain why Krypto was impacted by the cat swipe.
There is a long story, but don't ask me, ask Pepper/Streaky!
Seriously though, this story is inspired from the first meeting between my dog Dax and cat Pepper. It was exactly as described and it took awhile for the two of them to become friends. So it was perfect to make their first meeting a ficlet. So glad you liked it!
