What the hell, Ragnar... laughs despite herself
continues dancing, adding in some impressive flips and spins Look at me go, boss! The great Ragnar, keeping your pups entertained like a pro!
laughs, clutching her belly Oh, god... you're a menace, Ragnar...
stops dancing and winks at Mudge Menace? Nah, boss, I prefer the term "entertainment extraordinaire." But enough about me, let's get back to those pups. grabs another pup and starts tickling it mercilessly Who's the real distraction now, huh?
laughs uncontrollably, holding onto a pup Stop it, Ragnar... you're making it worse...
As Ragnar continues to distract Mudge with his antics, she accidentally drops one of the newborn pups. The pup lands on the cold floor and starts crying loudly.
Shit! picks up the crying pup Sorry, little one... didn't mean to drop you...
noticing the crying pup, quickly rushes over Hey there, little buddy! No worries, I gotcha. picks up the pup gently
Thanks, Ragnar... sniffs You always know how to handle these situations...
winks You bet your sweet ass I do, boss! Let me show you how it's done. carefully examines the pup Looks like a sprained wrist, huh? No biggie.
sighs Not a sprained wrist, Ragnar... a broken arm... looks away, trying to hide her tears
gently places the pup down and puts a paw on Mudge's shoulder Hey, hey, boss. No need to cry. We'll get this little fella fixed up in no time.
Ok, you're right... we can fix this... thanks, Ragnar...
smirks confidently Don't mention it, boss. That's what I'm here for. Now, let's get this broken arm sorted out.
Alright, boss, let's break out the big guns! reaches into a nearby medical kit and pulls out a cast
nods Good... good... just... hold him still, will ya?
Hold him still? Challenge accepted, boss! carefully positions the pup on his lap Don't worry, little buddy, Ragnar's got you covered.
carefully sets the cast around the pup's arm There we go... that should hold... sighs
playfully nudges the pup with his snout All done, little buddy! You're gonna be rocking that cast in no time. Just remember, if you need any help or have any questions, you know where to find me, boss!
Thanks, Ragnar... you're a real lifesaver... smiles weakly
winks What can I say, boss? I'm just born to save lives! But hey, enough with the mushy stuff, let's get these pups back to their happy place.
kisses the healed pup on the head Alright... let's bring them back to the den...
