I am not a gamer but my friends like to play.  I have friends who play League of Legends. I don't like video games. I like to be outside. I do not play video games. I like to swim as an activity. I have a dog. I run for fun. I just ran my first marathon. I run at a faster pace when I'm in a crowd. I run better than I swim. We go to swim in the lake sometimes. My dog is a Sheltie, a Shetland Sheepdog. My dog's name is Buddy. My dog is obedient. I know how to swim. My dog does not like water. My dog is mid-sized. My dog fits in the backseat of my car. I own a Honda Accord. I have done a marathon in Spring and plan on doing one in Winter.
I play video games with friends. I like the game League of Legends and prefer the Alistar champion. I bought a new gaming laptop. I'm not much of a runner. Swimming feels good on my knees. I'd do marathons but they are hard on my knees. I have a dog, she is terrified of the bath. She loves to jump in the muddy lake. My dog is a Labrador Retriever. I swim with my dog. I've thought about competing in League of Legend tournaments but I'm not sure I'm good enough. I like swimming. I have a dog who swims.  My dog and I went swimming at a lake last weekend and it was great. My dog likes the lake but not the tub or groomer.
Did you buy the gaming laptop just for League of Legends or are there other games you also play? For right now just the League of Legends, but I'm sure my friends will help me find other games to play. Since you run and swim, have you ever considered doing a triathlon? I have definitely thought about it! I just have never found a bike that really fits. It also doesn't help that really good competitive bikes can be very pricey. Do you ever bike? I hear it can be easier on your knees. I do bike, but not enough to be competitive. My dog likes to run along side when I bike, but she prefers swimming. Since I tend to take my dog everywhere that I can we end up swimming more often than biking. It's unfortunate that Buddy doesn't like to swim with you. It really is.  I'd love to have a dog that I could hit the beach with, even just for fun. I really enjoy watching people surf with their dogs. I don't really think I'd have the balance on a surfboard, though. Have you ever tried it? I haven't tried surfing, but I love watching the people surf with their dogs too! The dogs always look so happy. I'm sure my dog would love to go surfing. She'd probably be better at it than I would, haha! That's awesome! I do envy how wonderfully positive most dogs can be. Anything they want to try they just dive right into. Oh, to be that fearless! I also own an old tomcat who is definitely NOT that fearless. He's a lazy jerk. Do you have any other pets? Haha, your cat sounds like he's just living his best life! I don't have any other pets. My dog is so spoiled that she probably wouldn't want to share the attention with any other pets anyway.  You would think that Salem (the old tom) would be like that, but he and Buddy are literally best friends--so long as you aren't looking.  I've caught them snuggled up together too many times to count. If they know I'm looking, though, they pretend to hate each other. Ah, I see :) I'm sure it would be so embarrassing for Salem to get caught being friends with a dog. I've thought about getting a cat in the past. Do you think they are easier or harder to have around compared to a dog? Oh, definitely easier, 99% of the time. A cat only demands things of you when they want something specific (food, water, scratches, clean litter), but will totally ignore you a lot of the rest of the time. Buddy wants to be by my side 24/7. I also save on boarding when I travel because the cat can take care of himself. I always have to find Buddy a place to stay so he can be walked, etc. I'm definitely a dog person, but cats are chill in a whole different way.  That makes sense. Cats always see so self-sufficient. Like they could totally be on their own but decide to keep you around anyway, haha! And my dog is the same way, she always wants to be next to me which is why I end up doing so many dog friendly activities. If my knees were better I might try and find a short triathlon I could do with my dog.
