The bell chimed as he stepped in and wiped the soles of his shoes on the doormat to make sure he didn’t traipse any unwanted dirt inside. The shop itself was rather modest, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a good stop for anything pet related. It was where he would go whenever he needed to buy supplies, and today he needed to get cat litter for Copper and some new toys for Panda.

“How’s the rabbit settling in?” the bloke behind the counter commented, not bothering to look up from his newspaper.

“Just fine.” replied Ring Man, “Speakin’ of rabbits, do ya’ sell any toys that would be suitable for one?”

The man pointed in the general direction of where things for rabbits were usually kept in the shop. “Just over there, past the budgie that almost had your finger off last time you came here.”

The detective nodded a quick thanks before going to where the man directed him to, making sure to keep good distance between himself and the budgie. “Damn vicious bird…” he muttered quietly to himself.
