After returning inside, Tannie walks around the table for pets and love. Bam knows his dad is awake now and runs to his room. He starts to back out before his dad notices him. He is standing there holding his doggie toothbrush. 'Aw, man, not that. That stuff tastes horrible.'

But Jungkook sees him and says, "Come here, Bam." He backs up, 'Aww, but I don't wanna brush my teeth.'

Bam hesitates but does as he is told. He tries to distract his dad by being cute and playful. 'This usually works,' he says. He rolls on his back, tummy side up, between his dad's legs as he sits on the floor.

 He lets his tongue loll out of the side of his mouth and wiggles. This usually makes his dad laugh, and he plays with him.

Jungkook pets and plays with Bam just as he hoped. 'Distraction successful!'  but it doesn't last long.

"Ok, that's enough, Bam. Let's get this done." He takes the cap off the tube and puts some of that yucky stuff on the toothbrush. He holds Bam's head steady with one hand while brushing his teeth with the toothbrush.

Bam is drooling, licking his tongue around, hoping the drool will get the taste out of his mouth. 'Yucky, eww, I'm going to be sick.'

Just as Jungkook finishes, Bam is dry-heaving. 'I hate that stuff. There must be something better tasting. Maybe a yummy liver flavor or chicken. YEAH, chicken!' 

As soon as Jungkook gets up Bam jumps up too.

"You're a good boy, Bam. Yes, you are. You ready to work out?"

Bam woofs happily, 'Oh, the great outdoors, let's run, run fast!' He jumps around in spins as Jungkook leads him to the door. They stop as Jungkook puts his leash on, and then out they go.

Bam pulls on the lease and barks excitedly, 'Come on, Dad, let's get it!'

Jungkook does warm-ups before running, and Bam is woofing the whole time: 'Come on, Dad, hurry up. Let's go, let's go.'

Finally, his dad is ready, and they take off. Bam is exhilarated at the speed at which his dad can run. His dad is pretty fast but not nearly as fast as Fred the squirrel.

Back at the house, Tannie is enjoying all the loving and pampering he is getting from those who admire his cuteness.

Yoongi is holding him on his lap at the table and sneaks him a little bite of egg. Tannie is licking his Uncle Yoongi's fingers clean in appreciation. Just as he finished, his dad, Taehyung, entered the kitchen.

He looks suspiciously at his hyung. He knows he slips Tannie tidbits of food not on his food regimen.

"What?" asks Yoongi as Tae stares at him. Yoongi whispers in Tannie's ear, "This is just between us. I won't tell if you won't." 

In agreement, Tannie gives him a doggie kiss on the chin and a soft little woof, 'I won't tell, promise.' 

Yoongi puts Tannie down, and he runs to Taehyung, who picks him up and kisses his little face. Tannie doggie kisses him back, happy there is no ew breath now.

Hoping his dad is ready to play, he is disappointed when he is taken to their room and hears the water running in the bathtub. 

'No, no, not a bath!!' He tries to escape, but his dad has a good hold on him. He carries him into the bathroom and closes the door before sitting him down.

The water was nice and warm, but that wasn't his biggest worry. It was being taken out of the water and getting chills. But this time was different. There was a funny new light in the ceiling, and the bathroom was toasty when his dad lifted him out of the water and wrapped him in a towel.

Usually, the heavy shivers start, but this time, it is so nice and warm. Taehyung begins to dry his fluffy fur gently. With it being so warm and his daddy massaging him with the towel, he almost fell asleep.

'No! This can't happen! I don't like baths! I don't like getting wet!'

He looks up at his dad, who has beads of sweat on his face from the sauna light he installed just for Tannie's bath time. 

'My daddy loves me, ' Tannie says as he rests his head on his dad's shoulder as he carries him out of the bathroom, already dry and fluffy. 

Tannie sighs with contentment and falls asleep in his dad's arms.
