pet store meme (open to all!)

[birdnerved]

Welcome to the Pet Store! Whether you're looking to buy a pet, buy something for a pet, or you're just in the mood to hold a baby bunny for a while, you've come to the right place!

PROMPTS/OPTIONS IF YOU NEED THEM? 1: You're here to actually get a new pet! Yay, excitement! Or begrudging acceptance, depending on whose idea this was. 2: You're here to buy items for a pet you already own. Maybe you even brought the pet with you to do that? 3: You brought someone here because you have something unfortunate to tell them and wanted them to be distracted by cute things. 4: It was raining or something, you were forced to come here, it wasn't your choice, really. Maybe someone else dragged you. 5: Whatever you want.

Oh, that would be cute! ...I was gonna say maybe pizza too, but that might be kind of a hard thing to engrave. [Possibly. She doesn't really know the whole technical process of leather engraving.] Maybe just stick with the arrows and dog bones and, oh! I bet they have chew toys in the shape of pizza! Do you think he'd like that?

[pmuch]

[ Kate points at her, squinting one eye. ] I like the way your mind works, missy. All the pizza chew toys for the dog. Lucky dog, indeed.

[ Just for that, Anna gets a smooch on her cheek before Kate pushes the cart in search of the next item on her list, murmuring under her breath. ] Dog collars, dog collars...

[enthusiastics]

[She smiles brightly at the words and the kiss, bouncing along after Kate happily while still occasional looking at miscellaneous items on the shelves.]

I guess Lucky is pretty lucky! I'm glad you introduced me to him. I've never had a pet before. I bet it would be amazing to have one as loyal as he is, too. The kind of dog you read about in the news, you know? Rescuing people and such.

[pmuch]

He deserves to be spoiled. I mean, all pets, all dogs, should be spoiled.

[ She smiles, thoughtfully tapping her own nose. ] Since I've come home, I've gotta share him with Clint, but he loves your company too. As do I, of course. [ Kate winks. ]

[enthusiastics]

Definitely.

[She laughs, charmed, as she often is with Kate.] I'm glad about that! I like spending time with both of you...

And also the pizza. [Definitely can't forget about that.]

[pmuch]

[ Definitely cannot forget about that. Pizza is of the utmost important among Hawkeyes and one-eyed dogs. ] What do you think of this one? [ It's a handsome, rich leather, a pretty color. She can bring it to a specialty place to get the engravings. ]

[enthusiastics]

[She leans her head over Kate's shoulder, resting her chin on it as she looks at the collar in her hands.]

I like it! It's snazzy. Once it's engraved, he'll be the envy of dogs everywhere! Or, you know, at least within a five block radius.

[pmuch]

[ Kate rests her head against Anna's for a moment, nodding to herself. ]

That goes in the cart, too. [ She grins, setting it over the dog food. ] Did I forget anything?

[enthusiastics]

Hmmm... Oh, the chew toy? The pizza one?

[She takes a glance down the aisle back at the chew toys, but her gaze gets pulled toward the enclosures beyond the aisle.]

...We should go look at the small animals, too. I mean, not for Lucky. For me. Because I want to.

[pmuch]

Yep, the pizza one exactly. I mean, how am I supposed to not get that for a dog we call Pizza Dog? [ She chuckles. ] Duh, we can totally look at baby animals. It's part of the reason anyone goes to pet stores. [ Kate lifts a foot onto the bottom rung of the shopping cart and glides for a few feet down the aisle. ]

[enthusiastics]

[She retrieves said chew toy and adds it to the cart, then turns and starts walking down the aisle backwards so she can face Kate while she speaks.]

It should be like his motif. Like the arrow for you, you know? I mean whenever I see arrow things I think of you... Plus it's just going to be really cute and probably even amusing to watch him chew it.

[pmuch]

You're absolutely correct. It's officially his motif. [ A sage nod follows. ] Not that I'd be taking him out on any excursions any time soon, but maybe he can get his own hero suit with a pizza emblem.

[enthusiastics]

[She laughs, and nods along with Kate.] That would be pretty cute. And a cape? Or maybe that would be too much.

He can be a super hero in a motivational way, no fighting necessary.
