Some good old mutual pining between a dogwalker and his client!

Date My Hooman?

“Has he been a good boy?” Sirius is sitting on his knees, scratching Padfoot’s ears (and making quite the sight while doing so).

Remus crosses his arms over his chest. “Now you're just fishing for compliments. You know damn well Padfoot’s always a good boy.”

Sirius grins up at him. “Guilty as charged.” He looks back at Padfoot who's thoroughly enjoying his ear scratches. “I know my dog is great, but I love hearing other people tell me that my dog is great also.”

“Right you are,” Remus chuckles. “How was your day at the office?”

“Dreadfully dull,” Sirius replies instantly. “Really, Remus, you made some good career choices that you now get to play with dogs all day.”

“Well, I don't get to live in a house like that.” Remus nods towards Sirius’ three-story mansion with the sprawling garden around it.

Sirius winks at him as he gets up to his feet. “Maybe if you play your cards right.”

Remus can feel his cheeks heating up.

Before, he was just amused by Sirius’ flirtatious banter, and he actually gave it as good as he got. But now, he suddenly feels flustered, at a loss for words, and wholly out of his depth whenever Sirius makes a comment like that.

After long conversations, with Sirius being the last stop on Remus’ afternoon route, and being subjected to Sirius’ sharp mind and disarming sense of humour, things have changed for Remus.

He used to think that the best part of his day would always be seeing the excitement on a dog’s face when he reaches out to unclip their leash to let them run around the park and play with their friends, but now, it's like nothing compares to seeing the excitement on Sirius’ face at the end of the day as he crouches down to greet his beloved dog after long hours the office. Remus’ days have started to revolve around the moments he brings Padfoot home, and it's becoming A Problem.

“And that's not even taking into account cold, rain, new regulations, demanding clients,” Remus continues, as if he didn't hear Sirius’ last comment.

Then Remus’ own dog, Moony, dashes forward and starts licking a tail-wagging Padfoot’s face, like he knows he has to say goodbye to his friend for now, and Remus’ heart just melts. “Oh, who am I kidding? It's bloody amazing.”

When the dogs have said their goodbyes, it's time for their owners to do so as well.

“See you tomorrow?” Sirius asks.

“Of course.”

“Great.” Sirius beams at him. “Looking forward to it.”

Remus’ heart skips a beat at those words. Yes, definitely A Problem.

Sirius has given Remus the key to the annex besides the main house, so he can pick up Padfoot, take him for a long walk, and then, by the time they return, Sirius will be back from the office and usually already waiting on them.

Sirius has actually turned the annex into a space especially for Padfoot, with water and food, several dog beds, toys, and a dog door, so he can go in and out to the yard whenever he wants. Sirius has even hung framed pictures on the walls of him and Padfoot together. A fuzzy feeling spreads across Remus’ chest upon seeing those pictures. A Problem indeed.

Padfoot immediately comes running, happily wagging his tail, brimming with excitement to go on his walk.

“Calm down, Pads,” Remus laughs, as the dog keeps circling his legs and jumping up and down. “Come on, I need to attach your leash, otherwise we can't go. Hey, what you've got there, buddy?” He spots a piece of paper neatly tucked underneath Padfoot’s collar and he plucks it out. As he unfolds it, he realizes it's a note.

And as he reads, a huge smile starts to spread across Remus’ face.

Dear Remus,

You might have noticed that my hooman has quite a crush on you.

Will you please save me from his desperate pining, and let my hooman take you out on a date?

Dog walks in leather.

Time for new leather pants, so if any true men out there fancy treating me, I'd be happy to show them off anywhere you wanted

Spring break is here!!! I passed all my classes which I will say it wasn’t hard to do but it was tedious. Term 1 has come to a finish. The animals will be back after spring break and term 2 will begin. I’m not ecstatic about my exam scores but there’s always next term to to outdo myself. I’ve never felt such wear and tear on my brain like that before from exams. Finals weeks was pretty rough on me but the tests themselves were pretty easy for the especially for those who studied. I walk chomper yesterday morning. He is the sweet Pitt bull with chocolate spots. He loves his toys but he’ll go crazy if you try to take the them. When I was walking him he had mistaken my hoodie for his toy and we were playing tug of war outside for a couple minutes because he wouldn’t let go. He’s a really big boy, I eventually got my hoodie back in one piece and he resumed playtimes. But that was little scary lol. Once i got home i did my hair and ate some Spanish food while I caught up on a couple shows. And went to bed and got some DECENT sleep. It felt like I was running on fumes all month long.

I love chomper, he’s so cute.

Antonio is the black cat and that’s buster looking down one me.

Weird things that affirm my gender: counting 4 magpies on a dog walk (from the poem: three for a girl, four for a boy).

Also somehow intersects with detectorists season 3 and the mythical wise magpie trope they introduced.

Don't know why, but it always gives me a little thrill to see 4 of them, as if these wise, sacred old birds who love shiny things are seeing me for me, despite my outward presentation.

Can summer come back please 🙏 😢

It was the fuck-aroundest of walks, it was the find-outest of walks.

A day in the life of a dogwalker in Konoha.

A little ode to Naruto, which was a big part of my teenage years, and kick-started my appreciation of anime. Had a lot of fun with this. Took a total of 12 hours over two years to finish.
