[ So apparently when one gets a dog, one is meant to, like, take care of it and stuff? Which includes buying it food and toys, teaching it when it is and isn't appropriate to relieve itself, and spoiling the goddamn hell out of it.
Peter, at least, proves himself to be exemplary at that third step, and he's managed to teach Indy how to sit and come when he's called. They trudge along as well as they can with the rest of it, though accidents happen, and someone (mainly Rocket) usually flips out over it. Still, Indy manages to fit into the little team of misfits reasonably well. Gamora begrudgingly admits Indy is cute, "if you like that sort of thing," and Drax speaks wistfully of his younger days, when he and his hunting hound would run through the woods together. Groot has a well of patience for all living things, it seems, and takes to Indy the best of them all, while Rocket practically hisses and spits at the little guy, especially when Indy bounds up to him and nearly tackles Rocket over from his enthusiasm.
(Peter's seen Rocket sneak Indy bits of food from his plate, so it's not such a hopeless cause.)
It's about a month after they found the derelict cruiser, and they find themselves on Xandar. A quick visit with the Broker gives them some ideas on how to unload the pieces of art they'd recently acquired, and now that work's out of the way, Peter and Kasumi find a park for the two of them (plus Indy) to relax in.
Well, they're relaxing. Mostly, Indy is shuffling around, exploring this grass thing. ]

We should probably track down a vet for him, huh?
