Max leaned back in his chair and sighed happily. Ah, nothing better than a big hamburger and a bunch of greasy fries after spending the morning out shopping. The teenaged corgi (who was NOT a puppy, he was very insistent about that) reached for the last handful of fries, only to find an offending paw in the way.
"Hey, those're MY fries!" he pouted at the unexpected interloper. His big bro only chuckled as he dipped the stolen fries into his ketchup.
"I paid for 'em, I get to eat 'em," Jay said with a smirk. Max huffed and took a swig from his drink. Jay rolled his eyes and started to clean up from lunch, shoving everything onto the bright orange tray. "You wanna keep that?" Max nodded and slurped on the diet coke. The kangaroo rat nodded and stood up to dump everything in the trash, slinging Max's "daytime" bag over his shoulder and grabbing the shopping bags at the same time.
Max wriggled out of his seat to follow the kangaroo rat. He winced a bit as he crinkled, and looked around furtively, trying to ignore the quiet noises he was making. The mall's food court wasn't too crowded, but there were still quite a few strangers around, so it never hurt to be careful. Despite a lifetime of accidents and his constant padded state, Max was still embarrassed by his failure to grow into "big boy pants." His pants were loose and absorbed the sound quite nicely, but right now, surrounded by people, he didn't really wanna take any chances. He leaned in for another big swig from his drink. There was still a little soda left in the bottom, and he wasn't gonna let all that ice get in the way of his caffeine…
And then Max froze up as he felt his pants and diaper being tugged away from his body. He tried to look around and see if anyone had noticed yet. "B-bro…" Max tried to protest…
"Oh, relax Max, I just wanted to make sure while we were next to the bathroom, and it hurts to check." Jay gave a tiny nod and tugged up on Max's diaper and pants to adjust the fit. "And anyway, you're clean. Good puppy!"
Max felt the fire moving to his ear tips as he heard some nearby girls giggling. Oh, this wasn't gonna be a fun day…
