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.
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 have a dog, she is terrified of the bath. She loves to jump in the muddy lake.
My dog and I are checking out a new lake this weekend. Hopefully it isn't too muddy. Sound fantastic, what kind of dog do you have? I have a Sheltie, a Shetland Sheepdog. His name is Buddy. How about you? What kind of dog do you have? A Labrador Retriever which explains jumping in a muddy lake. I bet it takes forever to dry Buddy out after a swim. It sure does. Luckily, he doesn't like to go swimming. He mostly stands in the shallow water and barks while I swim. Labs love the water don't they? Funny that yours doesn't like the bath, though. The only thing I can imagine is that bath water is too clean for her. Shelties are really big, aren't they? What do you drive him around in? Yeah, and maybe the enclosed space is a little freaky for her. Shelties are mid-sized. They are like little Lassie dogs. Buddy is about 25 pounds, so he fits in the backseat of my car just fine. I own a Honda Accord, so Buddy just hangs in the backseat. Oh, that's a great size for a dog. I bet he's the best running companion, can he run a whole marathon with you? Shelties are more of a sprinter type dog. Not made for long distance. They were bred to herd sheep, so lots of starts and stops. I don't take Buddy with me when I run, as he slows me down! Ha! Does your dog swim with you? I guess you could say we start swimming together, but she quickly out paces me and if there is any waterfowl, she's just gone.  I can just picture that! Buddy is the same with cats. When he sees one, he's off. Luckily, he's pretty obedient, so he doesn't go far. He's a working dog, so he's happiest when he has a "job".  What sort of jobs have you invented for him? Retrievers, you know, just bring things back so there is no imagination needed.
