07/17/2020 First Park Visit
Date: 2020-07-17 05:40 am (UTC)It was nice to some semblance of familiarity in this new situation.
Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 01:52 pm (UTC)A friend of his was a bit preoccupied in setting something up and had asked him to take care of his dogs for the time being.
And who was he to deny such good boys?
Howler was openly frolicking in the grass, running back up to him with a stick in his mouth while Behemoth laid beside him.
"Haha! Good boy, Howl." Zizhen cooed, ruffling the brown Mastiff's fluffy fur.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 02:18 pm (UTC)He walked towards the open field, hoping that there would still be some dogs playing around.
WOW! He hit the jackpot that afternoon. He saw Tibetan Mastiffs. He couldn't stop himself from walking towards the boofers.
"Hey there, Zizhen, right? You have cute doggos!" Jin Zixuan offered a hand to let the dogs sniff him.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 02:25 pm (UTC)As he said that, Howler boofed, tail wagging happily as he pawed the air.
"Oh, he wants to shake hands!" Zizhen giggled while he petted Behemoth, the black and orange dog done sniffing the newcomer, his own tail wagging albeit a bit softer.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 02:46 pm (UTC)When Howler let him go, Jin Zixuan laughed. He felt so good to be tackled by such a friendly dog. He missed having his own but that was from a long time ago, like a different lifetime. Someday he would have one again.
"How about Behemoth? Can I give him some pats?" Jin Zixuan extended a hand towards the other boofer, wanting to get acquainted with it too.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 02:59 pm (UTC)"They're both friendly, their owner had raised them up to be smart good boys!" Zizhen laughed at the sight, looking around for his bag before kneeling down to rummage through it.
"I brought some of their favorite toys, do you want to play with them?" He asked as he pulled out a red ball, a red Frisbee and even a red colored rope along witb red dyed treats.
The sight of the toys and food had caused the Mastiffs to perk up, looking up at Zixuan with puppy eyes.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:11 pm (UTC)"Alright! Sounds like we're playing with frisbee!" Jin Zixuan announced as Howler and Behemoth seemed to like it a lot.
With that toy decided on, Jin Zixuan asked Ouyang Zizhen. "So, how do we go about this? We toss it to each other until they catch it or something?"
Jin Zixuan has never been this happy on a Monday night.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:23 pm (UTC)Behemoth and Howler got the hint as they barked and ran after the young man, jumping over each other in strong leaps and bounds, all of the three excited dogs turning around for Zixuan to throw the disc.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:29 pm (UTC)"Far enough I hope?" he yelled at Ouyang Zizhen. When he got a loud yes, he threw the disc in the younger man's direction. The two dogs were very excited and he saw that in the way their bodies moved in anticipation.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:33 pm (UTC)The two good boys ran after it, bounding up and trying to catch the frisbee in midair.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:40 pm (UTC)To Jin Zixuan's surprise, it was Behemoth who caught the frisbee and handed it to him. "Good job!" He patted the dog and he got a paw on his chest before getting licked by the dog. Turned out that the other dog did show affection too, just not as enthusiastic as Howler.
"Are you ready? Because here it goes!" As he tossed it back to Ouyang Zizhen's direction, the dogs practically vibrated with excitement as they ran.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:48 pm (UTC)"Ohoho! No, you don't!" Zizhen squealed, leaping forward to catch the frisbee, rolling forward and laughing when Behemoth took his moment of weakness to tackle him to the ground.
"Big B! No fair!" He cackled while Howler landed with a thud and quickly turned around to snag the disc and bring it to Zixuan smugly.
"You two are teaming up on me! You sneaky boys!"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 03:55 pm (UTC)Howler brought the frisbee back to Jin Zixuan and he petted the dog. "Good job, Howler. Good job." Before he could toss the frisbee, he was slobbered with doggie kisses again. When Howler was satisfied with how Jin Zixuan is practically covered with slobber, Jin Zixuan laughed again.
"Now go,Howler! Go fetch!"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 04:09 pm (UTC)"Howler, if you give me the frisbee I'll give you a treat!!" He shouted with a grin, gleefully watching the good boy arch up to catch the disc perfectly before bounding up to him.
"Come on, Big B! Fetch!" Zizhen cackled as he threw the disc to Zixuan, Behemoth automatically changing his course as he tried to leap for the frisbee.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-27 04:33 pm (UTC)"What a good dog you are!" he praised Behemoth. "I don't have treats on me though." He hugged Behemoth and before he threw the frisbee, he yelled at Ouyang Zizhen. "I think this one deserves treats too!"
Jin Zixuan kissed the dog's forehead. "You're such a good dog, do you know that? So catch this and he'd give you a treat."
As the frisbee flew in Ouyang Zizhen's direction, Behemoth ran enthusiastically.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 12:32 am (UTC)"Oof! You silly boy, that's the second time!" He giggled, pulling the frisbee from the dog's mouth to give him a treat.
Howler used the opportunity to nab the disc, spinning around to throw it back to Zixuan, the disc a bit wobbly but still heading in the right direction albeit slower.
"Aw, Howler you perfected the frisbee toss!"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 09:16 am (UTC)"Howler!" Jin Zixuan yelled when the dog wouldn't let him go and he was very much pinned on the ground by a very enthusiastic Tibetan Mastiff. It made him feel he was 5 years old again, with their black Labrador.
It took him a long time to recover from that tackle. He wasn't complaining. Not at all. To be loved unconditionally by a creature so fluffy? Yes. He was there for it.
"You really make me wish I could move soon and find a good dog just like you soon," Jin Zixuan told the dog while patting it. "For now, run, Howler!"
He tossed the frisbee back to Ouyang Zizhen.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 10:19 am (UTC)Big B bucked up, sending Zizhen flying as he caught the frisbee, landing safely on the grass with a whoop, sending the disc flying and laughing merrily as the two good boys ran up to Zixuan.
"Zixuan! There are some treats left in my bag!" He shouted, panting slightly but with a happy grin on his face.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 10:34 am (UTC)"Please come over with the treats!" Jin Zixuan yelled as he found himself being nosed continuously by both dogs.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 11:45 am (UTC)"Behemoth, Howler. Sit down boys!" He cooed, satisfied once they sat their furry rumps down, the boofers happily panting with tails wagging enthusiastically.
"Here's some treats, you can ask then to do tricks if you like." Zizhen grinned, shaking the bag as he went over to his own bag to get a few water bottles.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 12:04 pm (UTC)"So, what kind of tricks can these good doggos show me?" Jin Zixuan wondered out loud. "Behemoth, shake hands?" He offered his hand to the dog.and he immediately felt the huge paw on his palm. "Yeah? Nice to meet you too, buddy. You're a good playmate, do you know that?"
He turned to Ouyang Zizhen. "I guess this big fluffy baby can get a treat. Look at that paw!"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 01:59 pm (UTC)"Howler, why don't you show Zixuan you can dance?" Howler barked softly, standing up in his hind legs and jumping around in a specific rhythm.
"Good boy!" He cheerfully gave him a treat, ruffling his fur.
"I'm pretty sure, Behemoth knows how to balance a ball on his nose, he's really patient."
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-28 03:38 pm (UTC)Jin Zixuan took a treat from Ouyang Zizhen as well as the ball. He made Behemoth sit first and when the dog was ready, he took out the ball and placed it on the nose gently. "Hold it," Jin Zixuan commanded. Behemoth was as still as he could be. He turned to look at the younger man with him and saw that he was also smiling at the very patient dog.
"Good job!" Jin Zixuan holds out the dog treat which Behemoth gladly takes. "How about Howler? Can he do that too?"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-29 12:59 am (UTC)The good boy stood still but ultimately made the ball fall because his tail was wagging to fast, causing imbalance.
"Still a good try!" He cooed, giving the boofer a treat, "Such a good boy! Wen Xu must have really been a good trainer."
Howler and Behemoth barked when they heard their owner's name, almost vibrating in happiness.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-29 02:58 am (UTC)"So that's the name of their human? I hope he doesn't mind it if I play with these boofers. They're too cute!" Jin Zixuan found himself getting slobbered by Howler once again.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-29 10:29 am (UTC)"Isn't that right, Big B?" Zizhen cooed, scratching the good boy behind the ears, laughing when he got happy licks in response.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-29 10:35 am (UTC)Howler was begging for more attention and he gave the dog more scratches by the neck. "You really love this, don't you? The babiest big boofer!"
To his surprise, Howler showed his belly, asking Jin Zixuan for belly rubs.
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-07-30 05:14 am (UTC)Zizhen ruffled the dog's fur lovingly, delighted with the way his tail wagged, "If you get him to wag his tail then he really likes you!"
Re: Babysitting Dogs
Date: 2020-08-08 03:19 pm (UTC)"Behemoth was bounding with energy earlier and his tail was pretty energetic! Maybe he just wants to play a lot just like this one." He lied down beside the big dog. It was a good way to end the day. Dogs never judge once they realize they liked you well enough to trust you this way.
Path

07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-17 11:14 am (UTC)He inhales deeply as he looks around, his lips curving into a smile as he sees the vast greenery that greets him.
He stretches for a bit before running further into the park.
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-24 11:08 am (UTC)"Why do people do this to themselves?" He gasps out loud, as he stops and bends at the waist, hands resting on his knees as he catches his breath. He can dance all night with only short breaks, but running seems to hate him. And he hates it back.
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-24 01:25 pm (UTC)As he focused on the road ahead, he saw a lone figure from a distance. He paid no real attention to the person, only on the fact that he/she was at least wearing the appropriate workout clothes. However, this changed when he realized that the person before him was none other than his co-worker, Mo Xuanyu.
Although working in the same strip club, he didn't really interact much with Mo Xuanyu or with most of the employees there considering that his stint as a stripper was a secret and he always wore a mask. He had every intention to run past Mo Xuanyu and mind his own business, but as he got nearer to his co-worker, he couldn't help but notice that the younger man looked very tired and winded. Any kind of physical activity can definitely do that to any person, but he wasn't sure if Mo Xuanyu was the active type of person.
Suddenly, he felt worry fill his chest. He couldn't just ignore his co-worker and continue running. What if Mo Xuanyu continued hyperventilating and passed out? He should at least make sure that the other was okay or was going to be okay. Surely, Mo Xuanyu wouldn't recognize him because he always wore a mask and no one from the club except the owner knew what he looked like. Surely, it was okay for him to interact, right?
Making up his mind, he slowed down to a stop before Mo Xuanyu. He took a deep breath, so he wasn't breathless himself before asking, "Hey, you alright?"
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-24 08:25 pm (UTC)"I–I'm fine." His voice is soft,"I'm just not used to running." He spits the word as if it is something especially icky. He tugs at the hem of his shirt in a nervous gesture. He shifts from foot to foot and seems ready to bolt. "I may have bitten off more than I can chew."
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-26 12:38 pm (UTC)Taking a deep breath, he managed to keep his cool and stepped closer towards Mo Xuanyu. As much as possible, he tried not to look intimidating. He knew he can come off as scary and the least he wanted to do was to scare his co-worker, so he tried to keep his expression neutral. "Is this your first time running? If it is, I'd suggest starting slowly at first and build up gradually. Maybe a run-walk program might help too. Like, run at a comfortable pace for 5 minutes, then walk for 2-3 minutes."
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-07-26 12:59 pm (UTC)"That actually sounds doable." He says after a beat, "Thanks for the advice. Do you come out here to run often?"
Re: 07/17/2020 First Time Visitor
Date: 2020-08-04 02:19 pm (UTC)He runs his fingers through his damp hair and pushes them back as he shifts his balance on one foot. "This is actually my first time here. I usually do my cardio in my gym, but the weather is good today, so I thought I'll run out here for a change. Do you come here often?"
