accidental video:

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Mindy doesn't know it, but this is playing from her feed. minus the annoying music. She's running back and forth in the background. What she's doing, it's not entirely obvious from the sounds. She's probably doing something in the kitchen. When she notices the device is recording, she picks it up just as the puppy stretches.

And she's grinning.]

That's Mocha, Mo for short. I got her yesterday.

[This is about when the blue eyed chocolate lab puppy wakes up and sticks her face in the camera, sniffing and trying to chew on it. Mindy's amused, pulling the camera away and there's a shot of her slightly messy living room. It's littered with puppy toys, a leash, a dog bed that's too big for Mo at the moment and some of Mindy's belongings. And then it's back on her.]

Pets really do help with the ticking. Serrure, Rapunzel and Leah, you should come over and meet her.

[And the feed ends.]

Oh, Mindy, she's so cute!

Would you be opposed to her and Zucker having puppy playdates?

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

People do that?

[tangledintower]

Well, you basically just take them somewhere and let them run around and play together while we hang out and talk and stuff.

It's more of a playdate for them, and we just do whatever people do when they hang out.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Oh. [That made sense, once she thought about it.] Okay. Sure. That sounds good.


[She won't say like fun because what is fun and how does she that?]

[tangledintower]

It's pretty fun! I've done it before, and the puppies seem to get a kick out of it.

How is Mo settling in?

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Mindy turns the camera to Mocha who's found a ball and is trying to get her mouth on it.] So far, so good. She's only been here for a few hours.

[tangledintower]

How old is she?

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

I was told she's a couple months old.

[tangledintower]

She's probably not teething then...is she?

[accidentalfugitive]

You got a puppy? Where from?

[Isaac's always wanted a puppy, and no, the irony is not lost on him]

[Video]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

There's a pet store over at [address]. Mocha was one of four labs there. She was the rowdiest.

[accidentalfugitive]

Ah brilliant. I'd love to get a dog, I always wanted one when I was younger.

Re: [Video]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

You want some company?

[She might also want a fish.]

[Video]

[accidentalfugitive]

Yeah, and dogs are awesome. It could go running with me.

[Fishes are less cool]

Re: [Video]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Yes, but she's never had a pet before.]

Do you know what a puppy playdate is?

[Video]

[accidentalfugitive]

...No... Should I?

[threeolives]

Oh Mindy, she's adorable. Will you need any help taking care of her? [Not that Pepper's offering, she just wants to make sure.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

I got it. It's not like my time is taken up by school, here.

[Which she actually thinks is the stupidest thing. She actually wants to go to school.]

[threeolives]

Mhmm. [ See how Pepper feels about that. ]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

What? What does 'mhmm' mean?

[helsmaiden]

They are always peaceful when sleeping.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

And she doesn't stop moving when she's awake. She's already gone after her tail twice.

[helsmaiden]

She is ...more innocent than the pup I am used to back home.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

How so?

[helsmaiden]

She is not setting fires or barking about murder.
