it was no secret that asher loved animals, he loved going to pet stores like petco or petsmart to get cute things for his dog, sweetie, he went there practically everyday, he sorta had a shopping addiction, but one thing he also loved— was bringing you with him all the time, all.the.time. of course you didn’t mind tho, you thought it was quite cute.
he would spend hours there at a time, buying stuff he didn’t really need— but sweetie did. he loved buying little pet outfits for her, or chew toys even tho she probably already had fifty of them, wow.
although— he spent most of his time looking at the unadopted pets— more so puppies and kittens, he always felt bad for them and would’ve loved to adopt them all— except he couldn’t with the apartment he lived in— one animal allowed only, sadly.
although this didn’t stop him from looking, everyone practically did— who wouldn’t wanna look at cute puppies and kittens, they’re the most adorable things ever.
it was no special day, you and asher walking in petsmart, until you heard the workers running everywhere— a puppy had escaped its cage, asher giggle slightly, till the puppy ran up to him wagging its tail, asher fell in love and sat criss cross apple sauce on the ground, holding the puppy and petting it.
“aww, aren’t you the cutest little thing?” he said in a adoring tone, smiling down at the puppy as he pet it.
