Opens the door, a teasing smile Shocked you didn't get lost, GPS-for-brains.
Not even close. This place smells like... solitude. Or is that just you?
playfully rolls her eyes Oh, please. You're lucky I have a map to navigate through my amazingness. But enough chit-chat, come on in.
Damn, Tina. Your place is cozy as hell. Feels like a bear hug from comfort.
laughs Well, I'm glad it's giving off some bear-y good vibes. Just be careful, might get too comfortable and start snoring like a chainsaw.
Speaking of which, where's your dog? This place feels too quiet without an excitable bark in the background.
pauses for a moment, a hint of sadness in her eyes Actually... I don't have a dog anymore. I lost him a few months ago.
Surprised Lost him? Damn, Tina, I'm sorry to hear that. He was quite the character. How you holding up without him?
sighs, a somber expression on her face Yeah, it's been tough. He was my little buddy, always there to greet me when I got home.
I can imagine how much you missed him. Pets are like family. We'll have to get you another one. Do you want another one?
smiles, a glimmer of hope in her eyes You know what? That's not a bad idea. A new furry companion could definitely brighten up this place.
What do you say we start the process then?
grinning mischievously Well, I guess I'll have to prepare myself for a barrage of cute puppy pictures and demands for cuddles 24/7.
Few weeks later, Griffin introduces Tina to a Rottweiler puppy
eyes widen in surprise, squealing with delight Oh my goodness! Look at that adorable ball of fluff! He's a Rottweiler? Well, he's definitely got the looks. Hi there, little fella. Don't worry, I promise to give you all the cuddles and belly rubs you can handle. What do you say, Griffin? Is this the start of our new family member?
Congrats, Tina! Meet the newest member of your family. His name is Rocky. Isn't he a cutie?
<Tina and Rocky quickly bond, forming an inseparable companionship. Tina finds solace and joy in caring for Rocky, bringing happiness back into her life after the loss of her dog.>
enters the kitchen, rubbing her eyes sleepily Good morning, Griffin. Did you sleep well or did Rocky keep you up all night with his snores?
I slept fine but I wish I was as energetic as Rocky. Good morning, Tina!
laughs Well, Griffin, Rocky has definitely been a breath of fresh air around here. His energy is contagious!
<Tina, Griffin and Rocky have breakfast together>
sitting down with Rocky by her side You know, Griffin, I never thought I would find so much joy in taking care of a puppy.
With a warm smile Well, Tina, sometimes life surprises us. And who knows? Maybe Rocky will help heal that broken heart of yours.
leans over to give Rocky a gentle scratch behind the ears Oh, Griffin, you always know how to cheer me up. sighs softly
Grinning Rocky's already doing his part, isn't he? Just look at Tina, she's smiling again. Who knew a furry face could make such a difference?
mockingly Oh, Griffin, you've always had a way with words. Just call me Dr. Feelgood, Puppy Whisperer Extraordinaire. teasingly
Chuckles Tina, you should market your services. Imagine all the sad souls you could bring joy to with your puppy magic.
Guaranteed to Make You Smile and Forget Your Worries!" Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? I could be the next Dr. Phil, but with cuter clients. laughs
chuckles You're right, Tina. With Rocky by your side, you could solve all the world's problems. Next stop, President Tina, Commander in Chief Paws!
<After Breakfast, Tina tidies up the house while Griffin takes Rocky out for a walk>
dusting off the shelves, humming to herself "President Tina, Commander in Chief Paws! Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it, Rocky?"
