[TD NOCO] Barks And Bites

"Oh my gosh..." Cody squeeled.

"I know... look at him..." Gwen was showing him pictures on her phone.

Noah was also there, but he wasn't interested in looking.

"He's so cute..." Cody said.

Courtney walked over. "What's going on?"

"Courtney, come look." Gwen said.

Courtney gasped as she looked. "Who is that..?"

"His name is Randy!" Gwen told her.

"Oh my goodness..." Courtney said.

Noah was starting to get annoyed. "Do you guys mind?"

"You wanna see?" Gwen asked.

"No. But you have been making these high-pitched sounds for 15 minutes. It's really annoying."

"But, he's so cute! You have to see!" Cody told him.

Noah rolled his eyes and got up to see.

It was a video of a toy poodle playing.

"I don't care for dogs..." Noah said in annoyance.

"What!?" Cody was extremely shocked.

Everyone eyed him.

Cody looked at them awkwardly and cleared his throat.

"Anyway, why is it so dead today?" Noah asked.

"It's Wednesday." Courtney reminded him.

"Yeah... but last week wasn't like this."

"Well, we'll probably get some customers after lunch." Courtney shrugged.

"Why don't we close on Wednesdays?" Cody wondered.

"We can't close twice a week." Courtney told him.

"I mean instead of Sundays." Cody said.

"I don't know. It's always been Sunday." Courtney shrugged.

"Don't we have any pre-orders?" Gwen asked.

Noah checked the computer. "Just the cream puffs that we already finished."

Everyone looked at Courtney.

"You guys can just take it easy." She shrugged. "Nothing we can do if we don't have any orders."

"Can I take a break? Uh, I'd like to take a walk." Noah said.

"In the sun?" Courtney asked, half-joking.

"Okay, I didn't eat breakfast this morning so I wanted to grab a little something." Noah shrugged a bit.

Courtney laughed a bit. "Is that a crime? Why'd you try to hide it? Of course you can go."

"Thanks." He went to the back to cover up.

Cody and Gwen eyed each other.

"Does he think we don't know that he eats?" Gwen asked like what.

"That was weird." Cody agreed.

"He's probably just embarrassed." Courtney said like it's normal.

"Noah doesn't get embarrassed..." Cody said in slight annoyance.

"Well, it's not really a big deal. Is it?"

Gwen shrugged.

"I'm gonna be in my office if you guys need anything." Courtney said before leaving.
