I picked the "Clark vs the No Dogs Allowed policy (his apartment or elsewhere, since we started in S3 with this)" Prompt.

He only gets excited when he sees a blonde. It’s part of the Kryptonian genetic makeup.

Quote
“Ooof!” Mrs. Cutler, his landlord, almost fell backwards as Krypto launched himself at her, excitedly pawing at her midsection, tail flapping madly and tongue licking at her hands.
That’s not good.

we’ll have roosters and ferrets running around the courtyard.”
Yes. And those lovely gentlemen from 4C, they say they would like to being their two pet tigers to live with them.

Quote
Clark sighed. “What am I going to do with him?”

“He can’t stay here.” Lois folded her arms across
laugh

Lois frowned. “That was…years ago. They’ve changed the policy since then. I’m sure of it.”
Yes, they no longer allow free ranging animals or cooking in the building. It even says so in the lease agreement.

Quote
Her eyes grew big. “We’re getting a house and a yard?”
laugh Yes, to go with the 2.4 kids.

LOIS: shock

Quote
“Is he house-trained?”
Yes, but he likes to chase Cat.

Quote
“Uh, yeah. Sure.”

“Clark… ”

“Uh, you know what, I think I hear sirens…uh, gotta go. Goodnight Lois! Be good Krypto! Bye!”
Oh boy. Does that mean he digs holes in the floorboards to do his business?

Quote
A.N. Lois had a cat in the comic books at some point, so I stole that bit from there.
She also had a Cat in some of the stories over here.

Woof! Woof woof.

Anything with Krypto is a delight!

So cute. Now I want a dog named Krypto. Love this little delight.

I guess getting him registered as an emotional support animal wouldn't fly in the 90s

Lovely snippet clap

Oh no. Bad landlady, very bad landlady!
KRYPTO: GRRRR!

Oh well...ah...Poor Lois? Well, at least she now has a Super in the house even when Clark is off?
LOIS: That's *not* the same!

ALso, Krypto as an emotional support dog is quite literally a fun idea given everything tha tmight have happened on NK! MAybe that was something Zara had in mind...

Fun little ficlet!

This fic is so CUTE! I read it twice -- it was so enjoyable because you really nailed the interactions with the dog (he understands, but doesn't quite, and he's a perfect little bull in a china shop, but he's so unabashedly happy!). jump

Quote
He’s house trained and super quiet and well mannered and–
I laughed when I read, "super quiet" because it feels so natural and it works on both levels. lol

Quote
...excitedly pawing at her midsection, tail flapping madly and tongue licking at her hands.
This so effortlessly captures a happy dog's energy with SO MUCH ACTION!

Quote
“He can’t stay here.” Lois folded her arms across her chest as Krypto bounded into her apartment, running straight to her sofa and standing up on it, tail wagging madly.
I truly don't know if Lois' behavior or Krypto's behavior is more perfectly on point here!

Quote
“Fish? Fish aren’t pets. They’re purely… decorative.”
Especially hers!
Quote
Krypto began digging at her sofa.
“Hey! Cut that out!” Lois yelled.
Krypto barked loudly in response, leaping to the other sofa.
OMG, I can just see their WHOLE LIVES before them! This interaction kills me. rotflol

Quote
“Is he house-trained?”
“Uh, yeah. Sure.”
I know that Clark has no idea, but I feel like this dog might have some bizarre house training in addition to what we'd consider 'house trained.'

This was such a fun read! I just love Krypto! clap

Cute story. I love Krypto! smile1

As a bit of curiosity, when Clark first got Krypto, he made a mess in their apartment and Lois didn't want him living with them. But after she witnessed Krypto risking his life to save Clark, she had a change of heart. smile
