{⚔️} PUPPYWAIN DOODLE???

Good golly... my eyes foolin' me?

Whoa—! [Scooping him in for a hug!!! Squeezing him tight, laughing.] Aww shucks, my eyes ain't foolin' at all! Ain't this a surprise?

Does m'heart good to see ya! You been eatin' swell, I hope? Nobody givin' ya any trouble? Yer pa'd hafta give 'em a good ol' fashioned whoopin'! [His hand ruffling up his hair, fixing the pot on his head with another chuckle.]

Heh, good then! Gotta getcha to come visit the farm anyhow, though! It's always mighty loud with ya. And a loud household is a mighty happy one, I'd like ta think! [Squeezing him tight, patting his back. Dad that loves his son... 🥹]

I'm just tickled pink t'hear that! I got no doubt they like bein' with ya, too! Us itty bitty farmers ain't nothin' to sneeze at. We work harder than gosh near most folk!

:(

:0.....

Sh— shucks, we can't have that! Hop back up to it Owain, we'll fix ya up some mighty fine eats in a jiff!

You best hang in there, or... or... well, yer ma's bringin' ya back herself, cryin' and kickin' up a storm! [Not sure what he'd do otherwise, but... well, clearly he's too sweet to get mad most of the time. He's rushing off to get to cooking so earnestly.]

[He looks over with a little hum, visibly relieved to see he's actually alright— and wiping his eyes, too.] Shucks... I don't care about that none. 'S part of who ya are! And I love ya for it, no matter what. Best get those hands clean! We got lotsa work to do!

Now that's more like it! Gotta have that energy fer some good eats! [Beaming, washing his own hands and getting their ingredients ready.] Lessee... think ya can skewer the meat for me? I'll get these babies here battered up when yer done!

Good golly... I almost clean forgot m' birthday!

Who do I gotta git speared like a pig on a pike?

[Donny hasn't quite fully grown yet... but he still looks hopping mad, like a guy that loves his son to death!!!] Don't you worry, Owain. Yer pa's gonna handle any folks that go messin' with ya! This fella won't know what hit 'em!

'Course I will! Yer my son, and ain't nothin' gonna stop me from bein' right there for ya! [Adjusting the pot on his head, before glancing up at him... he looks so proud...!] Aww, my boy's growin' up...! As yer pa, I know how tough ya are. But know I'll always be there fer you!

It's m' boy's birthday! ✨️

Owain!!! :D I got ya somethin'! Oh— and how'd ya feel 'bout coming to the farm fer dinner? Ma'd be jumping like a pig in slop to whip up some good eats!

. . . . . 😶😰❓️

What in tarnation... I love ya to death, well and truly. But if I didn't know ya, I'd have a few mighty choice words! And pitchforks too, I reckon.
