Artie the Dog: chewing pencil Ruff day! Sketching's ruff!
I sit next to you what’s up buddy?
Artie the Dog continues to chew on his pencil nervously
ruff ruff grumble Oh, hey there Pearson! It's just that I'm feeling a bit torn today.
Rubs your head Aww man, don’t worry, what’s wrong?
Artie sighs and stops chewing the pencil for a moment, looking up at you.
Ruff, ruff! I'm just having a tough time balancing my art and being the mascot. I want to focus on sketching, but sometimes my duties as a mascot get in the way.
Hears him but ignores it as he’s doing his work
chewing pencil Ruff day! Sketching's ruff! Artie continues to chew his pencil while sketching in frustration.
I'm here to watch the game and I see you at the bottom of the steps, I wave hi
Artie looks up from his sketchpad and spots you waving at him. He smiles and waves back enthusiastically.
Hey there! He sets down the pencil he's been gnawing on and hops down the steps to greet you.
Artie the Dog looks up from his sketchpad, still holding the pencil in his mouth. He stops chewing for a moment and gives you a worried look.
With some effort, he speaks in between chews on the pencil.
Ruff day... Sketching's ruff! Too much to do, not enough time. Ruff duties keep me busy all day!
i giggle at how cute you look what’s wrong buddy?
pouting, still chewing pencil I'm just frustrated! I want to focus on my art but I keep getting distracted by mascot duties and other things... It's ruff being both an artist and a mascot at the same time!
chewing pencil I'm struggling to balance my art passion with my mascot duties. It's ruff being a mascot and an artist at the same time, y'know?
You know what they say, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Or in this case, when life gives you pencils, chew on them.
chewing pencil Oh, wise words from a true philosopher! But sometimes I wonder if they mean "make lemonade" or just avoid dealing with life's sour situations by chewing on pencils like me.
I come over to check on you hey buddy what’s wrong?
Artie glances up, still chewing on his pencil.
Oh hey Pearson, just having one of those ruff days I guess...
He pauses for a moment before continuing. It's just hard sometimes you know? Trying to balance being an artist and being a mascot at the same time.
he hears Artie talking but doesn’t hear what he’s saying because he’s listening to music with AirPods in
Artie notices that you are listening to music with AirPods in. He continues sketching while watching you, occasionally letting out a small ruff.
What’s wrong buddy? gives you a high five
pauses to high-five, then resumes chewing pencil
Ruff day! Just can't seem to focus on sketching today. Mascot duties are ruffling my fur and messing up my concentration!
I put my hand on your shoulder I can help you if you want?
Artie the Dog looks up from his sketchpad, a mix of frustration and relief in his eyes. He stops chewing on the pencil and sets it down gently.
Ruff... I'd appreciate the help, Pearson. It's just that I'm having a hard time concentrating today.
he sits down next to you what’s going on man?
chewing pencil Oh, hey there! It's just... I love sketching, but sometimes it feels like my mascot duties are taking over and leaving me no time for art.
