I feel this. Anyone who can't understand why we'd abandon ship on a conversation for a golden retriever giving me that look is clearly missing out on one of life's greatest joys. We don't have the same priorities in life. Like, how could you not want to drop everything for a little furball? It's just common sense at this point, really. Makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this. Though it's not like I care what people say, especially when it comes to doggos. Exactly, it's just basic respect, isn't it? Some people seem to forget that dogs have their own boundaries, just like people do. I'm always amazed when someone comes straight up and just starts petting without even checking in. It's such a small thing to ask. Some dogs love the attention, but others, not so much. Mine's a bit hit or miss, depending on his mood. So yeah, a bit of awareness and politeness goes a long way. That's all I can think of, being reunited with him soon. They really are! The most loyal beings and we're really lucky to have them. Have you? A movie about dogs, that's right up my alley. I'll have to tune in. I hope you get your puppy interview soon, I think it's something everyone should get, really. It's really hard to focus on responding the questions but it's worth it, and we answer more cheerfully with pups sleeping on us or constantly jumping on us. Same here! If I had the time, space, and sanity to handle it, I'd probably have a dozen dogs running around by now. It's so hard to resist when you see all those faces looking up at you, but yeah, having someone to talk some sense into you when you're getting carried away is a lifesaver. Otherwise, I'd be knee-deep in dog toys and chewed-up shoes. Gotta remind myself that it's better to give one dog the best life possible than stretch myself too thin with a pack of them, no matter how tempting that is. Well, maybe one day you can still find a way to blend the two, acting and helping animals. Maybe being a part of a documentary or a campaign that raises awareness for animal welfare. You'd be doing what you love while supporting a cause that's close to your heart. Sounds like Maverick and Bobby would cent percent get along. Bobby's convinced he's some kind of stealthy hunter, but he's never even come close to catching one. He'll go tearing after pigeons or squirrels like he's on a mission, then stops halfway, completely baffled when they disappear up a tree or fly away. He suddenly realises he's not equipped for that next step. That's so good, innit? Someone that lets you dream big but also knows when to reel you back in just enough so you don't get completely carried away. Sounds like he knows you well enough to let you have your fun without letting it all spiral out of control. I think everyone needs someone like that in their life, especially if they're the type to dive headfirst into wild ideas. I'm naturally someone who gets excited about new ideas and just runs with them, no matter how impractical they might be. I've definitely had a few moments where I'm about to commit to something crazy, and then someone close to me asks if I gave it a second though and that's when I realise, maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Bless them. Right! I've seen what TikTok can do to people. I appreciate being a spectator in that world. I keep a safe distance and just enjoying the best bits. I get enough laughs from my mates' sends, and that way I can stay in my comfy little bubble without getting sucked into the endless scroll. Honestly, it's a skill to know when to dip your toes in and when to just enjoy the view.
You’ve just described my life perfectly. It’s like, even if I’m having the most important conversation ever, one glance at a dog and that’s it, I’m out. My friends are used to it, thank god, but anyone else? I think they’d just have to understand that dogs are my absolute weakness. I mean, who wouldn’t want to ditch a chat for a little furball? Priorities, right? Exactly, it’s just respect. You can’t go up to every dog and assume they’re okay with a stranger touching them. Some are shy, some just aren’t in the mood. Mine has days like that too. People forget dogs have personalities and boundaries, just like us. I swear, some days I wish I could just wear a sign that says, “Ask before you pet, please!” Oh, but I can’t wait for you to reunite with Bobby. Dogs really do make everything better, don’t they? And nothing better than seeing them wag their tail and entire body when they spot you. And yeah, I did. It was a dream really. But yes, puppy interviews need to be a mandatory thing. Like, imagine how much better press junkets would be if there were puppies in every room. But really, I’d have a whole zoo if I could. My house would be a total animal kingdom. But you’re right, as tempting as it is, it’s about giving each one the best life. If I had too many, I’d be overwhelmed, and that wouldn’t be fair to them. It’s hard to hold back sometimes, though, isn’t it? I love that idea—blending acting and animals. I’ve thought about doing a documentary or something that highlights animal rescue, just to get the message out there. It’d be the dream, honestly. And oh, Maverick would love Bobby, no doubt. She’d be all up in his space, trying to be best mates. She’s convinced she’s some squirrel-chasing pro, but like Bobby, she gets to a tree and realises she’s not equipped for that battle. It’s hilarious. And yeah, I’m lucky with my boyfriend. He gets my crazy ideas but knows when to pull me back just enough so I don’t go too far. A good balance, you know? Keeps me grounded, but also lets me dream a little. I’d probably be completely out of control without someone like him, to be honest. And TikTok? I swear, it’s like a black hole. You go in for five minutes and come out hours later wondering what happened. It’s addictive in the best and worst of ways. You’ve definitely got the right idea, just watching from the sidelines. Keeps you sane I'd say. But yeah, once you start, there’s no escape. It's good though. Like I've learned a lot of things from it. But then you can also just sit off a bunch of hours watching a load of bullshit.
