Sparky tugged at the leash and bobbed the dark dog balloon, "Did you enjoy your little float around the carnival there?" he said in a tone just shy of baby talking.

Not needing the help from the bobbing, Reinhardt nodded back, the little nub at the end of his rump wiggling side to side.

"Have a fun day getting plucked from that big balloon bunch and spirited away by a fluffy little cat?"

He nodded again, more excited than before.

"Well that's good," Sparky said as he tugged the leash down in his grasp, bringing the doberman down nose to nose with himself and bopping them together, "Every dog should have his day."

The ecstatic balloon smiled ear to pointed ear, oblivious to Sparky's brows raise, his ears perk forward, and the smile turn to a sly smirk on the snow leopard as he drew his finger up to the recently booped nose. Reinhardt was brought back to reality rather sharply when the tip of Sparky's claw pressed against his nose. "Unfortunately, this day is drawing to a close. Judging by your expression you get my point, don't you?"

The poor dog's grin started to waver as he felt the claw tracing the tip of his nose, "If only I had a good excuse to take you home..."



So Reinhardt had a cute idea that he wanted Sparky here to be a part of, and who am I to say no? It fits him so well, just look at that smug look of joy on my face... poor, poor doggo, you were such a cute balloon. Many kudos to  SymreaART for their hard work! It was a joy watching this get better and better from the rough sketch through to the final. Go check them out an show some love for their other squeaky work!
