 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Moy Pomidor | Seneca's Beard | That Is So Fetch!
Laughter, crup kisses, human scooping him up and moving his paws around. This entire moment was one of pure bliss. Benji was a very happy crup. His goofy crup smile, tongue hanging out, and wagging tail was proof of that. All that was missing were the treats!
He couldn't understand anything the boys were saying, but it sounded EXCITING.
And then his master came. He did seem too happy. The tail stopped wagging, and Benji looked at the man with sad cruppy dog eyes. He hadn't done anything wrong. Promise. He was just making new friends.
It was at this point Ryan realised that he was holding a rubber chicken of all things in his hand. His wand was supposed to be there, which had been left behind on the counter. Bloody hell. He probably looked absolutely ridiculous right now.
Not that the kids seemed to have noticed. One of them wanted to take the latex mold along with his crup. But that was quickly forgotten as he was trying to keep up with the kid's train of thought. The kid was all over the place and just kept on blabbing. The man could feel a headache coming on.
Thankfully the other kid was drastically easier to follow.
But in the end, no matter what was said, Ryan had answers to give. "The crup's name is Benji. I have treats behind the counter if you're interested, but he is not for sale." Just to make that clear. "And neither is this chicken. If it has a price tag on it, then it is for buying. If there is no price tag, it stays put. And, yeah, I probably have tricks somewhere, kid. Got a lot of things here, but only Merlin knows where they're at." Things had a habit of being moved, and he had more important things to do than organise everything properly.
