Author's Notes: What can I say? We are having a pee-week on Tokra_Flats and TheGenGate. This was inevitable.

The Stargate went KaWhoosh! and the 4 intrepid travelers passed through the event horizon. Witha KaThunk! it closed behind them on the new planet.

Jack smiled down happily. Now, this was a good place. These people loved, adored and pampered their dog population. All the dogs were well behaved. They even had special areas of the restaurants on this planet "drool" and "non-drooling". Jack was in his element.

They met the inhabitants, who took them to a grand buffet hall. Food was laid out, water and drink were plentiful. They had sent through food to be tested first, so they could eat and drink all they wanted. Negotiations were going quiet well, when Jack felt a Sudden Urge. Quietly he leaned over to whisper to Daniel.

Daniel shook his head.

So, he whispered to Sam, who nodded and pointed down a hall. Excusing himself, Jack got up and wound his way through humans and dogs. With a sigh, he got to the hallway. Standing in front of 2 doors, he looked confused. Started for one. Stopped. Started to the other. Stopped. He looked around, getting a desperate gleam in his eyes. Finally, he spotted one of the people who met them at the gate and signaled them over.

Pointing at the door, he queried "I went looking for a rest room and found these two doors with pictures of dogs on them. I am completely baffled, so can you help me? I have to admit that I can't tell the difference between the male dog and the female dog."

"That's not the idea," the man smiled and said.

"One dog is a pointer, and the other is a setter."

Jack just knew he would like this planet after all.
