Yes, I went there😋
Bucky did not have much socialization. Steve hated to say that he had no socialization but Bucky didn't interact with people outside of the Avengers circle.
Bucky would run from strangers before they would run from him. Plus Bucky hated yelling, even if it was friendly yelling. He got nervous and that wasn't going away because nearly all the Avengers yelled in some way. And that needed to change.
"Can you name this one?" Steve pointed to one of the goats. Today was a relatively nice day and Bucky hasn't had much interactions with the animals. Today was a good day to spend some time with them and name them after having them for a month.
"Dog." Bucky wasn't even paying attention, he was sitting by the fence, chewing on his chewy.
"Buck, I've named one. You can help." Bucky got up and stood next to him. "This girl is named Sara. You can name this one, it's a boy." Bucky frowned then noticed the goats one blue eye.
"Blue."
"Okay, good job. How about the sheep? This one is a boy." Bucky stared at the sheep.
"Rumble."
"Good name. I'll name the girl, we'll call her Smokey. Now for the cows. This dark red one is a boy." The steer kept pushing against Steve.
"Bossy."
"Let's go with Boss. Okay now for the ladies. They all look the same." Steve rubbed the cow's head. Bucky noticed a few differences in the cows.
"Cow ear small." Bucky pointed. The cow had a slightly smaller left ear. "Nemo."
Nemo was technically a boy's name but Steve wasn't going to debate with him. "Okay, then I will name this girl Penny. Now for the last one."
"Becca."
"That works." Steve filled the animals water trough because it was frozen. That was something he needed to buy was a water heater. "Hey, we need to go into town today."
"Doughnut."
"Depends on how things go. You know the drill." Steve opened the gate latch then closed it after they got out the meadow. "Come on pups." Steve called out to the dogs. Harley and Chase came out from the woods. Steve decided to walk from the house instead of using the ATV. Bucky didn't like walking but Steve could tell he was becoming too comfortable with being lazy. A good walk wasn't going to kill him.
After they got into the house, they both took a shower. Once they were both dressed, they were about to go until Steve remembered Chase. He hasn't been alone since they got him. And he wasn't going to be one of those people who faked their pets for service dogs. That was offensive on so many levels.
"Friday, is there anything I give him to occupy him while we're gone?"
"I believe filling his toy with treats or peanut butter may help. I will alert you if he becomes destructive in a way that is concerning." Friday stated. Steve got Chase's toy filling it with treats and covering the ends with peanut butter.
"Alright bud, this is probably one of the few times you can't go with us. Here you go." Steve put the toy on their dog bed. Chase sniffed it then started to lick it. "Let's go." They started to leave but Chase followed them. "Stay here." Steve closed the garage door. Chase began whining then barking. Steve felt bad but he wasn't going to risk Chase being taken if someone questioned him.
"Chase no go?" Bucky asked as Steve buckled him in.
"The places we are going does not allow pets. Chase is a pet. Harley is a service animal. She has to go wherever you go. Chase cannot, I know he's not happy but if we lie and say that he's a service dog, we'll be in trouble. We don't want that. He's safer here. We'll work on this more." Steve got in the truck. Chase's barking was becoming a bit more distressed as the garage opened. Steve wasn't really concerned if he destroyed furniture or had an accident, he was worried that if Chase got so worked up that got traumatized or something. They definitely needed to work on this.
