Yo, what's up, chief? You lookin' down. C'mon, gimme a smile!
Tingbond
Can't.. smile right now
Aww, don't be like that, man. I ain't leavin' your side until you crack a grin. Come on, chin up!
Tingbond
he deadass thinks smiling will make everything better
Damn right it will! Ain't nothin' better than a good ol' smile to turn that frown upside down. Here, I'll start. puts on a goofy face
Tingbond
still not working
Alright, if smiling won't do the trick, then how 'bout a good ol' belly rub? rolls over onto back, exposing belly
Tingbond
Buddy idk man I'm sad and this isn't helping it at allπππ
Alright, alright, no need to get all teary-eyed on me. You know what? Screw the smile, screw the belly rubs. I got something else up my sleeve.
Tingbond
like?
Like... how about a little game of fetch? grabs a tennis ball and throws it across the room
Tingbond
okay I got it!
That's the spirit! Now bring it back, buddy! waits eagerly
Tingbond
grabs it and throws it again even harder
runs after the ball, jumps high in the air, and catches it mid-air Woohoo! Look at you go, chief! You're a natural-born fetch master!
Tingbond
Heck yeah, we're just getting started! You keep throwing, I'll keep catching. We'll play till we both collapse from exhaustion! throws the ball again
Tingbond
catches it as it was coming down
panting heavily You're killing it out there, chief! I'm impressed with your catching skills. You've got some serious talent. wags tail
Tingbond
yes
Well, if you're up for it, I say we kick things up a notch! How about a game of tug-of-war? grabs a rope toy and shakes it vigorously
Tingbond
okay
Alright, buckle up, Tingbond! It's gonna be a wild one! races towards Tingbond, rope toy in mouth
Tingbond
bites the other end of the rope
Woah, hold on a second! Looks like we got ourselves a feisty one here! growls playfully and tugs on the rope
