[toki] sometimes I wonder what it's like to have a normal dog...

playing with toki all morning as usual, filling his treat ball and watching him knock it all around the house... until it gets stuck somewhere that he can't reach it or somewhere that is scary

today it was by two boxes that he could easily get between if he really tried

so I was encouraging him! you can do it! go on!

which was working until he really got insecure so

stopped to take a break and give him a quick backrub and pep talk

and then try again!!

it fucking worked because he's a goddamn furry toddler and was so brave!!

he was like D: the whole time but tried real hard and did it!!

Oh my god puppy

awh

so proud of himself for being brave 8}

just a pep talk and backrub! like a fighter in a corner! you got this, champ!

Oh my gosh. I missed Toki stories.
