Very cute! The descriptions of the space station are fantastic; a lot of nice sensory details. Crink's desperation to get rid of the tribbles is very funny, and I love that the Klingon went back to take care of them.
Author's Response: Thanks Aurora! I'm glad you like the description of the station, I was trying to give it a busy but jovial atmosphere. Thanks for your review

LOL! There's always trouble where Tribbles are concerned. Throw in an anxious to sell Ferengi and you've got gold. Great story. Short. Sweet. Funny. Has me smiling. Job done.
Author's Response: Thank you Miranda! Even though it was with my own characters I wanted to use elements that everyone was familiar with, and I know lots of people feel strongly about tribbles one way or another :) Thanks for your feedback.

Wonderful story that had me grinning all the way through it. Reminded me of visits to the pet store when my own kids were little.
Loved the wide variety of animals you depicted, and the desperate push to get tribbles off of K-7 made me think of Cyrano Jones walking around stuffing his pockets at the end of the classic TOS episode. Definitely left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling (no pun intended) at the end. Nice work.
Author's Response: Thank you Lil, I'm glad you liked it! I enjoyed writing about the animals- even though they may be far-fetched, I wanted to emphasize the variety of species available as pets for the people of the Federation as something positive and to be celebrated. I'm glad it made you smile, I was trying to make it lighthearted :)

NEVER have tribbles for pets! They are a galactic pest of epic furry proportions! Nice one for bringing in a few tribbles, and for throwing in an incensed Klingon in the process! Good story, plus it gave me a few laughs with the tribbles and Crink's dodgy selling!
Author's Response: I agree Ln_X, never have tribbles for pets! I wanted to write about tribbles because they are cute and fuzzy and lighthearted, but people also have strong opinions on them. And I figured Crink is desperate and a Ferengi, and so would try and sneak a few into the deal. Thank you for your review!

I need to know...What did the Klingon do after they left?
Very nice story, definitely enjoyed Crink's desperation to get rid of the tribbles (yeah, no DUH you can't get rid of them fast enough, moron. lol) I laughed. Good job!
Author's Response: After they left, Crink caught the Klingon stuffing tribbles into his pockets, but pretended not to notice cos, hey, he was desperate to get rid of them! Unfortunately he was stopped by station security and to his and Crink's despair, had to return the tribbles to their cage. Thank you for your feedback, TemplarSora! I appreciate it.

... and three tribbles ....
Excellent line, made me laugh. I wonder if Crink tossed one in, you know, as an extra. ;)
Author's Response: Thank you Jespah, I am glad you liked that bit. I wanted to emphasize how desperate he was to sell them, or even just get rid of them by that point. Glad it made you laugh, and thanks for the review!
