The Dating Game | Chapter Two

~~

Nearly a week had gone by since her catastrophe of a first date with Puke Boy and Joey woke up the following Friday morning, bright and early, to get ready for work. She attempted to stretch her legs out under the warmth of her weighted blanket as her phone alarm blared from her bedside table, but a little bump at the end of her bed hindered her from moving. Twisting her upper body to tap off her alarm, Joey eased herself up and used her toes to gently nudge at the warm bundle that rested by her feet. With a tiny furry head popping up from the protective curl of its body, Joey smiled and reached down to ruffle her fingers over the dogs’ head. “Morning, Sadie,” she yawned out, flipping the covers off her bare legs and forcing herself out of bed. “Time to get up!” 

The brown long haired Dachshund hopped right up as Joey pushed to her feet, Sadie jumping onto the floor to follow the young woman into the bathroom. After a quick shower and taking Sadie on her morning walk, Joey grabbed her travel mug filled with coffee from the kitchen counter and the overstuffed ‘#1 teacher’ tote bag that was hanging on the back of a chair, and headed into work. 

She was met by her best friend, and fellow teacher, Alexis and her son, Lincoln, the moment she stepped foot into her empty classroom. “Morning, Lincoln,” Joey greeted her student as she flipped on the classroom lights.

Lincoln slumped over to his cubby to put his book bag away. “Mornin’, Ms. Parker.” 

She smiled at the fair-haired little boy before turning to her best friend. “Hey you,” she greeted, setting her bag and hot coffee down on her desk.

Alexis shuffled two large tote bags on her shoulder. “I forgot my coffee this morning,” she whined, wringing her hands up through her dirty blonde hair as she attempted to pull it back out of her way and in a low ponytail. 

Joey chuckled, and nodded to the travel mug on her desk. “You can take mine if you want.” 

“Oh please, no. I’ll just have to live off the bad excuse for coffee that’s in the teachers lounge this morning,” she said with an eye roll, “wouldn’t be a normal crappy morning without it!” 

Pushing out another laugh, Joey turned to the whiteboard behind her and picked up a marker, writing out the date and the topic for the day: Rhyming Words. “So,” her fidgety friend continued as a few of the other faculty members began to noisily fill the hallways, “what are your plans for this weekend? Another hot date with Puke Boy?”

Alexis had a very sarcastic tone with that last bit and Joey peeked over at her, noticing the smirk on her face. “Funny,” she commented before going back to her board and marking down the days’ forecast. “Actually I do have another date tomorrow night. But with a new guy.” 

A playful gasp came from her blonde friend. “Ooh do tell.” 

Setting the marker down, Joey spun back around to face her desk and began pulling some graded papers out of her tote bag. “I really don’t know much about him, to be honest,” she started, glancing up at Alexis. “His name is Omar. He’s tall, from what he says, he’s an exec at some kind of tech company and he drives a Maserati. That’s pretty much all he told me.” 

“Interesting,” Alexis mumbled with narrowed eyes. “Where are you guys going?”

“To that...music festival in Santa Monica? I forgot the name of it.”

“Rhythm and Lights?”

Joey’s eyes went big and she pointed at her friend. “Yes, that’s it. We’re meeting there at five.” 

“Hmm,” Alexis hummed out, her mouth turned down at the corners, “that should be fun. At least if he gets drunk and throws up, ya’ll will already be outside.” 

Joey let out a long sigh, slightly cocking her jaw to the side in agitation. “I’m never gonna live that down, am I?”

“Nope,” her friend said with a satisfied giggle.

Joey shook her head and went to grab the containers of crayons out of the utility closet just as a few of her students started to trickle into the classroom. “Alright, I guess I better get over to my own room or those fifth graders will have my head!” Alexis joked, stepping over to Lincoln to give him a kiss goodbye. “Have a good day, buddy.” 

“See ya at lunch, Lex,” Joey called out as her friend began to walk out of the classroom.

“Yup!” 

•

“Omar, right?” 

He hadn’t lied, he was tall. Like six foot, four tall. And his arms were massive. He was respectively handsome, dark eyes and dark hair and he immediately hugged Joey when she met him outside of the festival grounds. That took her by surprise for a split second, but as they began walking through the front gates and his hand slipped to sit at her way lower back, it became clear that he was a touchy feely kinda guy. Really touchy feely. 

It also became clear that Omar was very confident. Almost too confident for her liking and had a bit of a wandering eye from the few glances she caught him taking when a group of girls would walk past them. But Joey decided to roll with it and let herself have some fun. The music was blaring and he was a good dancer, and he did make her laugh a few times. 

“This was a really great idea!” Joey shouted to Omar, assuming he could hear her over the thumping music from the band that was on stage. 

“Huh?” 

Apparently he couldn’t. Joey moved herself closer to him, Omar taking what he thought was a hint and wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. “Oh…” Joey stuttered out, as she felt both his hands start to slip down her backside. She contemplated kicking him in the shin and running away, but that seemed a bit too dramatic, so Joey, once again, decided to just go with it. He seemed harmless. She hung her arms up around his shoulders, following his rhythm as they began to dance. “This is fun!” she told him, hoping he would hear her this time. 

Omar smiled and nodded his head before burying his face down against her neck. Joey’s eyes went big as his mouth latched onto the side of her throat and she nearly choked on her breath when his fingers dug harshly into the bottom curve of her ass. Pushing back slightly, Omar lifted his head with a crinkled brow and Joey smiled big at him, not wanting to make the situation any more weird that it had already gotten. “I’m gonna go get us some more drinks, okay? You want?” 

“Sure...a beer is good.” 

“Cool, I’ll be right back!” 

Spinning on her heels, Joey rolled her eyes and carefully weaved around the crowds to make her way back towards the tented bar at the other side of the grounds. She waited in the long line for at least fifteen minutes, brushing tiny strands of her red hair off her face that had fallen from her high ponytail and stuck to her sweaty skin. She was sure she was looking quite ravishing. If the drops of sweat sliding down the middle of her back, the mud covering her black boots and the spilt beer on her jean shorts were any indication.

After placing her order, one beer and one large mojito, she moved over to the side a bit to wait with the other customers as the busy bartenders prepared the drinks. Joey pulled out her phone and tried to check her email but she was barely getting any service and refreshing the app wasn’t working. She was beyond frustrated at that point. “C’mon, you stupid piece of shit–”

“Joey?” 

The vaguely familiar and mesmerizing voice stalled her mid sentence and Joey peeked over to her right. There was no mistaking those gorgeous baby blues, it was him. Again. “Niall?” she blurted out, almost not believing it herself, “Oh my God, hi!” 

He tipped his head down slightly in a half smile. “How are ya?”

“I’m good,” Joey said, stuffing her phone into her back pocket and turning her shoulders slightly to face Niall. “Wow, this is so crazy running into you here, how are you?”

A chuckle slipped past his lips and Joey’s eyes caught him as he messily combed his fingers through the front of his hair. It looked even softer than the last time she had seen him. “I’m alright. How, um...how was your date last week?” 

Joey pulled in a deep breath. “Well...he ended up getting super drunk, threw up on my leg at the restaurant and I had to call him a Lyft home before we even finished dinner, so...not super great.”

“Jesus.” 

“I know,” she laughed, shaking her head as she shyly looked down at the toes of her boots. “He was also weirdly obsessed with his cat? Most definitely dodged a bullet there.” 

Niall tossed his head back in a low laugh, his eyes pinching shut as the sound rumbled in his chest. Joey bit at her lip as she watched him, her stare locked on the base of his neck. He had a really, really nice looking neck. She couldn’t help but let her eyes slide down just a bit further, Niall’s white tank that nestled under his open short sleeve button up perfectly showed off just the right amount of his dark chest hair. There was no denying how sexy he looked. Shaking her head out of her insane thoughts, she quickly glanced around her, hoping no one had seen the drool that was uncontrollably pooling at the corner of her mouth. 

“Are ya here with friends or...?” 

Joey shot her attention back to Niall as his question hung idly in the air. She licked across her lips. “Actually...I’m here on another first date.” 

“Oh,” Niall said, his brows raising, “uh...how’s it goin’ so far?” 

“Well, he wasn’t late...so that’s a start.” They both chuckled and Joey leaned her hip against the side of the makeshift bar. “Are you here with friends?”

“Yeah,” he said, Niall tipping his chin up as he began to shoot his stare through the crowds of people, “they’re over...there somewhere.” Joey followed the wave of his finger, taking note that he was on the completely opposite side of the stage than her and her date. “It was my turn to get the drinks.” 

Joey slowly brought her gaze back to his. “Enjoyin’ the festival so far?” he then asked her. 

“Yeah, it’s pretty cool!” she replied with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulder, “I like seeing bands that I’ve never heard of before. I was kinda hoping my favorite band would be in the line up but...I never have that kind of luck.” 

“Who’s your favorite band?”

“The Wildflowers?”

“Oh yeah, I’ve heard of them.”

“They’re great, this...indie chick band with fiddles,” Joey added with a chuckle, “I’ve actually never seen them live. They play a lot of those small underground shows that are, like, super hard to get into. Never been lucky enough to get tickets.” 

Niall narrowed his stare and a tiny smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth. “I could get ya tickets.” 

“What?” Joey choked out, her light brown eyes going wide. “Are you serious?”

He threw her a nod. “Yeh, I can get pretty much anythin’ through my label. Ask and you shall receive,” he told her with a giggle. “Why don’t I, um, get your number and see what I can do and hit ya up when I get me hands on some tickets.” 

Joey could barely believe what she was hearing. His words floated around in her head like vivid daydream before Niall covered his mouth in a stifled laugh. She was sure the look on her face was nothing less than embarrassing. But tickets? To the Wildflowers? Her parted lips creased into a huge smile and Joey rubbed her palms down the sides of her face in excitement. “Oh my God, that would be...holy shit, that would be so fucking incredible.”

Niall grabbed his phone from his front pocket and Joey took a step closer to him, both their heads tilted down as he typed her number in. Joey also couldn’t help but take a nice deep inhale, confirming to herself from the last time, that he still smelled damn good. Niall, on the other hand, was rendered numb with how close she was to him. The tiniest whiff of her shampoo tingled his nose as her ponytail slid down between their faces and the barely-there scent radiating off of her exposed dewy skin made his mouth water. It was intoxicating. 

Peeking up at her through the tops of his eyes when he finished, Joey caught his stare for a moment before she realized just how close their proximity was–so close that her chest was nearly touching his bicep–and she quickly took a step back. 

She cleared her throat. “Thank you so much.” 

Slipping his phone back into his pocket just as one of the bartenders set Joey’s drinks in front of her, Niall softly smiled. “ ‘course, love, no worries.” 

“Okay, well,” Joey started, picking up the two plastic cups, “I guess I should get back to my date. Hopefully he doesn’t get too drunk and puke all over me.” 

Niall breathed out a laugh. “That would not be very fun.” 

“Not really, no,” Joey smiled. “It was really good seeing you again, Niall.” 

He faintly nodded his head and licked across his lips. “It was good seeing you too, Joey.” 

Turning away from him, Joey started to walk through the large crowd towards her date, taking one last second to look back over her shoulder at Niall. She caught his gaze, still stuck on her as he shoved his hands down into the front pockets of his striped shorts. Joey smiled big at him, something she couldn’t seem to help when she was around him and he smiled right back, and just as big. 

•

Joey woke up the next morning with a splitting headache, her face plastered against a pillow and in a room that she had never seen before in her life. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she pushed the mess of hair off the side of her face and slowly began to roll herself over. She then realized she was completely naked, in someone else's bed. A muted groan fell from her lips and she heard a soft ‘hey baby’ come from next to her. 

Turning her head, she was about to reply when she noticed that Omar, her date from the night before, was laying naked next to her, talking on his cellphone. Joey’s brow wrinkled, her mouth falling open as she sat up and bunched the grey sheet up around her bare chest. 

“We still on for tonight, baby?” he continued into the phone, apparently not even aware that Joey had awoken. “Good, good. Missed you last night. Can’t wait to see you.” 

Shaking her head with a look of pure disbelief written across her face, Joey muttered a low ‘oh hell no’ before scrambling out of his bed and grabbing her clothes that were sprinkled all over the floor. She didn’t say a single word to him in the process, hurrying out of his room as she tugged each piece of her clothing on. Shoving her feet down into her boots, she snatched her bag from the couch and ordered herself a Lyft, not even bothering to look back as she quickly left his apartment. 

Joey sat quietly staring out of the backseat window on her ride home, part of her not even sure what happened the previous night, the other part of her not wanting to believe it. The skin on her bottom lip was nearly bitten off, her fingers twisting in her lap and she closed her eyes for a second, hoping it would settle the intense thumping that she was feeling against her temples. After about ten minutes, she pulled out her phone and dialed Alexis, knowing she would be the only other person awake at 9am on a Sunday morning. 

It only rang twice before Alexis answered. “Jo?”

“I fucking slept with him.”

It was quiet for a moment on the other end. “...the guy from last night?”

Joey rested her head back on the seat, her hazelnut eyes watching the palm trees flash by as they drove. “I can’t believe I decided to waste my revirginized vagina on him.” 

A cackling laugh belted out from the other end of the line. “Where are you?”

“On my way home.” 

“How far away?”

Joey lifted her pounding head to peer around as the car slowed to a stop at a light. “Um...I dunno, fifteen minutes, maybe?” 

“Okay, I’ll meet you there.” 

•

Joey was able to get back to her apartment, take a shower and some much needed aspirin, and take Sadie for a walk all before Alexis even showed up. Not unusual for her. Alexis was a great friend, her and Joey had met a couple years prior when Joey got her teaching job at Midlawn Elementary School. She was the first one to strike up a conversation with Joey, and they immediately hit it off. She was fun, a bit loud and spontaneous but was the most caring person Joey had ever known. 

Answering the door, Joey let her best friend in and Sadie went ballistic, hopping up and down and barking nonstop. Alexis attempted to bend down and pet the dog, hoping to calm her, but Sadie skitted away from her touch, barking even louder. 

“Sadie, knock it off!” Joey yelled, having no patience for her antics at the moment. She gently pushed the dog away with the side of her foot and the dog quieted down and scurried into the other room.

“After all these years, your dog still doesn’t like me,” Alexis commented, tossing her purse down on Joey’s table as they both shuffled into the living room. 

Joey laughed. “She doesn’t like anyone, Lex. At all. You’re not special.” 

“Ha, Ha,” her friend retorted with an eye roll, both girls plopping down on the sofa.

“Where’s Lincoln?” Joey asked.

“With his dad.” 

“Oh. I forgot it was his weekend.” 

Tucking her leg up on the couch, Alexis turned her body towards Joey and reached out to tap her knee. “So...c’mon, spill.” 

“There’s nothing to spill,” Joey started, slumping back into the sofa with a huff. “I just...gah, I dunno. I mean, he was cool, I guess. A bit handsy but once I had enough alcohol in my system, I didn’t really mind it. We danced a bit, he made me laugh a little and we just ended up back at his place. But honestly, I’m never doing that again. I don’t even know what I was thinking.”

“Well…” Alexis said with a snort, “to put it bluntly, you were thinking you hadn’t gotten laid in two years, Jo.” 

Joey dropped her face in her hands with a groan. “But he was so douchy, Lex. Especially this morning.” She lifted her face and scratched across her forehead. “He was already making plans to see some other chick tonight. While I was lying there in bed next to him!” 

“Ew,” her friend commented, pulling her face in. “was it even good?”

Joey shrugged. “It was alright, I guess. He didn’t get me off but...what’s new.”

“Humph,” Alexis pushed out, crossing her arms over her chest, “yeah, tell me about it. Most men these days can’t. But you were at least careful, right? You don’t wanna end up like me, getting pregnant by a guy you barely know.” 

“Lex, you got a beautiful little boy out of it.”

Alexis rolled her eyes. “I know that, but still...better to be safe than sorry.” She raised her brows at Joey. 

Carding her fingers up through her damp hair, Joey tossed it up into a loose bun and let out a knowing sigh. “Yes, mom, I was careful.” 

Alexis grabbed a throw pillow from behind her and threw it at Joey, hitting her right in the side of her face. The red-haired girl giggled. “Oh..oh my God, I totally forgot to tell you,” Joey exclaimed after chucking the pillow back at her friend. “Guess who I ran into last night at the festival?”

“Who?”

“Niall.”

“Niall?”

Joey furrowed her brows. “Ni-...oh fuck, did I not tell you?” she said, realizing that she had yet to tell anyone that she had met Niall at all. She watched her best friend's brown eyes go big in curiosity and Joey eagerly scraped her teeth across her bottom lip. “Okay, so listen, the other week when I went out with Puke Boy, well, he was, like, super late and I was waiting for him up at the bar, having a drink or whatever, right, and someone said something to me and when I looked over...it was Niall fucking Horan.”

With her mouth falling open, Alexis stared intently at her best friend. “Stop it.” 

“I’m serious,” Joey continued, “we got to talking, he bought me a drink and shit and, I dunno, it was just, like...really chill. He was totally cool. To the point that I almost forgot he was famous. Anyway, he was there last night at the festival too! We ran into each other, oddly enough, getting drinks at the tent bar.” 

“That’s fucking crazy!”

Joey chuckled. “Right? That’s what I told him!”

“So… are you guys gonna hang out or something?” Alexis pried. 

“Well..no,” Joey said with a shake of her head, “I mean, we talked while waiting for our drinks, but he did get my number.” 

Alexis squealed. “No, he didn’t!” 

“He did!” Joey explained. “We were talking about the Wildflowers and I mentioned that I had never seen them live before and he said he could get me tickets and...asked me for my number.” 

“And you just...gave it to him?”

Tossing her head back, the young woman laughed. “Why not? I’m literally going out on blind dates with random guys from Tinder. At least everyone knows who Niall is and he’s not, like, some creep.” 

Alexis chewed at her bottom lip, wanting as much tidbits from her friend as she could get. “‘So are you guys gonna go out then?”

A loud snort came from Joey. “You’re joking, right, Lex? Like he would ever in a million years go out with me. No,” she said, peeking down at her lap and shaking her head, “he was only gonna let me know when he could get some tickets, that’s all.” 

“Sure,” Alexis said with a narrow stare, drawing out the word.

“Believe me, it would be a cold day in hell before Niall Horan ever asked me out on a date,” Joey said with a chuckle, “But I dunno, besides being crazy fucking hot, he was just really chill, you know? Really easy to talk to. I could definitely see us being friends.”

Alexis bowed over in a full belly laugh. “Okay, Jo,” she said between breaths, not for one second believing her best friends intentions, “whatever you say.” 

“I’m serious,” Joey told her, playfully pushing the front of her shoulder, “Besides, there’s no point to even entertain the absurd idea that we would date, ‘cause...I’m literally never having sex again, remember?”

They were both rolled over in laughter at that point, almost in tears when the sound of a text coming through to Joey’s phone dinged loudly through the apartment. Hopping up off the couch, Joey wiped the wetness of laughter from under her eyes and gathered her breath as she stepped over to the kitchen counter to pick up her phone. It was a number she didn’t recognize, but the text itself told her immediately who it was. 

“Well…” she said, holding the phone up towards Alexis as she bit off a smile, “speak of the devil. It’s him.”

Thomas: big dogs, like German Shepherds and huskies- something that could help him hunt.

Wally: owns a golden retriever and has fostered everything from teacup puppies to coyotes he thought were dogs.

Norman: Bloodhounds, beagles, stuff like that.

Grant: he’d want something small and low-maintenance, like a dachshund or a pug.

holy shit. as someone who has often felt that i have no clout, i have no influence, this was so grounding.

like, really, this made me think back to all of the people whose lives that i’ve touched, from small things like my parents and friends of theirs using slang and lingo that i made up as a young kid to big things like... my cartoons being a source of joy for chris cornell joey belladonna talking about my cartoons and even my fic now it’s dark on the jamey jasta show at the start of quarantine eric peterson using one of my comments as a new name for a riff that he made up (it’s true!) alex skolnick saying “i feel like a cartoon most of the time” referring to all of the times i’ve drawn him - that’s just one example, too, there’s been a fair share with him a drawing i made from last june called “a girl and her guitarist” and then a few days later, chuck billy posted a pic of his wife with the caption that read “a girl and her weiner” (referring to one of their dachshunds) mark osegueda (rob and teddy, too) just being really sweet to me jeff becerra going apeshit over my drawings like a schoolboy; eric has done that, too, and how (both incidents will never not make me laugh)

*edit: a couple more…

i’ve noticed a lot of artists are using textures and bold colors like i do, and they’re usually mutuals with some of my favorite artists who have interacted with me.

the sudden influx of kinktober fics i saw just today, all of them in bandfic (i started eclipse, my own collection back on the 20th).

and there’s the people who have influenced me.

i write the way i do because of all of the books that i read as a kid and then a teen into my early 20s, and my one english teacher who finally believed in me when i was a freshman in high school.

i explore other avenues of art because of my art teacher in 7th grade.

i make cartoons because my parents introduced me to hanna-barbera cartoons at a young age and i found my way to cartoon network plus select anime and manga that was available.

i’m into earth science to this day because of my best friend and her noisy-ass rock tumbler (i can still hear that thing, too, like subconsciously).

my mom and i make homemade pizza, which was passed down to me from my grandpa. my grandpa also shared with me his knowledge and his sense of humor, to not take things so seriously and laughter really is the best medicine.

a lot of what my mom makes for dinner she’s passed down to me, and no doubt i’m taking them to the grave with me.

as much as it upended my life when i was 18, my parents splitting was an odd blessing in a way. it made me realize that blood is thicker than water and sometimes that blood ends up your hands. i sometimes wonder where i would be, too.

hell, i got into being an artist full-time because of my stepdad, god rest his soul.

i probably never would have found alex if not for the death of my stepdad, either. i probably never would be where i am if he didn’t go.

The legacies people leave behind in you.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I don’t know it. How beautiful.

I’ve got like 3 friends, so... @nightlocktime, @0pheliaraine, and, as my constant #1 fan, @silvertyger if they wish.

5, 6, and 7! From the poly ship post, plz.

I’m gonna do this for ship: soft sweet edges (me, honey, and boss!)

5. Something contagious is going around! How will each of them handle being sick? Who are the ones who insist on working even when they’re not well? Who are the ones who stay away when they’re healthy? The ones who play nurse?

While I’m sick, Boss will stay away and Honey will play nurse. He is naturally soothing to me and he knows it, so he takes care of me. 

However, when Boss is sick I’ll take care of him and Honey will keep his distance. Boss does want to keep working and winds up doing a lot of paperwork and planing from home during this time. 

Finally, Honey gets sick and is kind of happy about it. He calls his clients and tells them that he may be a little behind schedule because of whatever is making the rounds. Boss and I both play nurse in this case and Honey just loves the attention from both of his boys. He has been caught faking being sick because of this reason though.   

6. The mess that is deciding where to eat out and what to order. 

Honey and I are pretty indecisive and will let Boss pick whatever he wants. But sometimes Honey or I will be really craving fast food and Boss usually wants a nice sit down dinner at a steakhouse or something. Boss is pretty nice and “fair” as he likes to put it, and takes us to the fas food place. But he still wants to go in and sit down to eat instead of getting drive thru. His least favorite is Sonic because if it’s too cold outside, you HAVE to sit in the car. His favorite, if he had to choose a fast food place, would be Zaxby’s because the food isn’t super greasy and the inside of the restaurants are pretty nice no matter which location you go to. 

If it’s just me and Honey going out one on one, we’ll sometimes drive thru at several places if we are feeling REALLY hungry. One time we came back home with bags from 3 different restaurants and a box of doughnuts.

7. One or more of them comes across a stray animal. How do the family members each react? Who tries to find the previous owner? Does anyone want the others to mind their own business? Do they end up keeping it? 

Boss found a cat one time, he tried finding the owners first since she had a collar but no tags. He went to the vet too to make sure she didn’t have a micro chip, and she didn’t! So Boss brought her home. I was happy to have a pet, and I love cats. Honey was indifferent, being a dog person and all. And that’s how we ended up with Doomfanger!

Honey came across a puppy one time while we were walking and he made the sadest face I have ever seen a skeleton monster make. He wanted that puppy so bad but I new it was gonna be a big dog when it grew up so I suggested we take him to a shelter just to make sure he didn’t belong to anyone. The owners did show up BUT Honey fell in love with this other dog while we were there. It was a mix of a Corgi and a Dachshund, Honey just HAD to have him and the couple who’s dog we found payed for the adoption fee as a reward. That’s how we came to know Joey!

My Son Doesn’t Like Dogs, But Our New Fur Baby Might Just Change His Mind

I got it. My husband Rich and I never wanted a dog either. We didn’t have them as children, and our children never wanted them as children. Dogs had bad breath, they never cleaned up after themselves, and we all had strong feelings about where they put their noses and what they did when we weren’t looking. Twelve years ago, while looking after my sister’s shaggy Havanese, Mojito, he ran away, ate a bird and then threw it up on our rug.

“We are never getting a dog,” I told Rich afterward.

But in the early days of the pandemic, doggies were everywhere and, unlike people, we could cuddle them. Dachshunds were our favourite. Rich found Glennie on Kijiji in March—half Chinese crested powderpuff, half dachshund. Translation: the mother was a long-haired beauty and the father was a scrappy escape artist.

We brought our darling, barely a kilogram, home to meet Joey. “She seems nice,” he said, giving her a cursory pat on the head, “but I don’t want a dog.”

He would come around. How could he not come around? We came around! He didn’t come around. He refused to have anything to do with her, even though she climbed all over him while we watched Jeopardy! and licked his feet and played with his socks.

Rules: 15 questions, 15 mutuals  (I picked 4). as always, if i tag you and you don’t feel like doing this, no worries.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Yup, Catherine the Great b/c my dad wanted to give one of his children a historical name. My mom’s only contribution was swapping out the C to a K. If I was a boy then my dad would have tried so hard to name me Alexander (after you know who).

2. When was the last time you cried?

A week ago...for personal stuff.

3. Do you have kids?

Unless animals count then nope! Not even interested!

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Rarely since a lot of people don’t realize when I am being sarcastic and take me way too seriously and that sucks the fun out of it.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Their hair--length, style, color, and hygiene.

6. What’s your eye color?

Brown

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

Both are good!

8. Any special talents?

I can draw, am oddly good at chess, and can solve a good portion of murder mysteries. Fun fact: Clue was my favorite board game and I stayed up late to watch Forensic Files when everyone went to bed (even on school nights). It’s no wonder I like Danganronpa.

9. Where were you born?

California

10. What are your hobbies?

watching youtube videos/anime/shows/movies, Disney pin collecting, reading (when I got the time), playing video games/board games/card games, and sing

11. Do you have any pets?

Four pets! Two spoiled dogs (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) named Joey and Izzy, a rescued black street cat (Ragdoll/Siamese mix) with attitude problems named Nemo, and our newest addition is a Betta fish named Kaito

12. What sports do you play/have you played?

Soccer, baseball, basketball, volley ball, tennis, and some football. Out of all of those, I REALLY HATED soccer.

13. How tall are you?

5′4’’

14. Favorite subject in school?

History and Art class

15. Dream job?

When I was little I wanted to be an Orca trainer. Later I wanted to do Forensics. I also would have loved pursuing an animation career or be a History college professor but now I am in dental wanting to be a Hygienist.

Now I tag @whoadoctorfreeman, @shadowx21, @tgunn64, and @mal5341
