Whispers From Beyond The Ethos

Frodo: (Sniffs the air suspiciously) Hey there! You smell different. Where have you been? Did you abandon us?

Pad Thai: (Barks excitedly, tail wagging furiously) Don't listen to him! You're back! You’re back! I missed you tons! Did you bring treats?

Chris: Wow, Wow, Wow, Wait just a second there! There was no abandonment, just a much-needed vacation and some playtesting. Yes, Yes of course, I brought treats! But first, how was your stay at All Dogs?.

Pad Thai: (Whines dramatically) Oh, don't get me started. They had these obnoxious squeaky toys, and they kept squeaking and throwing them at Us! Ugh and all that barking! My ears are still ringing. Give me the nameless Void any day.

Frodo: (Raises an eyebrow) You mean that boarding facility you ditched Us? That place with the never-ending games of fetch and endless belly rubs? Ah man that was great. But the food situation was ruff. They called it "chicken," but it looked like… well Molly would of liked it, definitely not the gourmet meals you whip up.

Frodo: (Brightens up) But hey, at least we made some new friends! There was this fluffy poodle who loved to cuddle, and a grumpy old bulldog who taught us all about the best napping spots. Oh, and the labs they could chase for hours.

Pad Thai: (Grumbles) Yeah, some friends. They’d run and I would chase, bark, and maybe take a little leg nip. Wouldn’t let me play any more, come on it was just in fun.

Frodo: (Nudges Pad Thai playfully) Come on, grumpy gills! It wasn't all bad. We're just glad you're back, I need a nap. Now, about those treats...?

Chris: (Reaches into a bag and pulls out treats) Coming right up! Looks like you two had quite the adventure at doggy daycare. Now time to stop goofing off and dig up your next scoop.

Frodo and Pad Thai: (low growls as they turn away) Dig… really, your going to go there now…
