Not Criticizing or anything but If Tony has a cold or the beginning of bronchitis should not be around any animals. My sister has asthma and my dad has severe COPD and the dr said they shouldn't be around animals that shed or have a lot of dander. We have cats but We have to get special waterless shampoo for our cats.

I'm a new fan to NCIS' fan fics. I find your stories very entertaining. I'm particularly enjoying the Milsom Bay series. Ruskin is a lovely addition and the toy's name cracked me up, McProbie? LOL!

Still working my way through the earlier Milsom Bay stories so not reviewing each chapter.

Other than that cliffhanger at the end this chapter (oh dear, poor Tony) it's literally had me laughing out loud over and over again. Tony & Ruskin are quite a pair.

Just found this story and I love it. It is so cute and again Tony is right on the money. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding. The ending bit about the collar was perfectly Tony.

LOL! I loved the ending! All that work...not for nothing, of course, but it's funny how it all worked out.

I loved this, and do hope we get to visit them again sometime.

I love the ending.

Great story!

I have no idea why I haven't read this one before. I just adore your writing. You have a very special way that makes your fic a lot of fun and always make me laugh and grin and giggle a lot (not the angsty ones, of course) without it really being a crack fic. It's still a "serious" fic, but the dialogues are just brilliant. Plus you're always super sneaky and manage to surprise me with a twist or two I didn't see coming. Like switching the dogs. Well, I'm not familiar with dog breeds and I was too lazy to translate, maybe otherwise I could have known? Anyway, a brilliant fic and I have to admit my favorite part? The fact that Tony thought of the collar on his own - without going to some lecture first :).

Great little story and even had a couple of nice twists and turns through out, like Tony trading dogs and having the same thought that McGee did but a little sooner and taking the appropriate action.

Later.

Wow another great story! Of course Tony had the idea about the dog collar way before Tim! Tim gets a good idea and Tony gets a head slap go figure! Love your stories! More please!

Great story!

What a wild goose chase! We need more Tony&Ruskin adventures!

Shame, I love your tormented Tony stories, don't stay away too long, I'd love to read some new adventure in Milsom Bay or some other drama involving Tony...maybe something involving Season 12 & the Sergei drama, events involving Diane etc. If Sergei does turn out to be Ari's older half brother & he's out for revenge on Gibbs, then the age gap between Gibbs & Tony would be the same equivalent & Tony might be Sergei's ultimate Checkmate move on Gibbs? That would make a great story, especially if the battle ended up at Milsom. Anyway, loved the story, as usual...might have to reread your old ones again!
