Few things get Nyx as excited as the words “want a treat?” The moment she hears it, her ears perk up, her eyes widen, and suddenly she’s ready to race for her prize. It doesn’t matter if it’s across the kitchen or down the hallway — in her mind, it’s game on.
The funniest part is how seriously she takes it. She’ll launch forward with all the focus of an athlete, paws thumping against the floor, determination in every stride. Her whole body says, “I’m winning this race no matter what!” And when she finally gets her treat, her victory is complete.
It’s such a simple moment, but one that never fails to make me laugh. Watching her little “treat races” reminds me of her playful spirit and how joy doesn’t need to be complicated. To Nyx, it’s not just about the snack — it’s about the thrill of the chase.
