My little dog sister is no longer a baby. She still makes way too much noise because she barks at everything. She still chases Sophia through the house (Sophia really needs to stop running.) She is still a little mean to poor old Fred. Now, however, she adds the crime of shedding masses of her fluffy fur. Fred has always shed a lot, but to have Missy add even more means that Mom needs to vacuum regularly. I consider that noise even worse than Missy’s barking. There is just no place to hid while she runs that nasty thing through the house. Missy also hates to be brushed. Mom says she made the mistake of not brushing her more when she was short haired. Now she has long hair and a really fluffy tail. I wonder if Mom’s brother had the right idea when she was a baby. Is it too late to trade Missy for a bull calf? I’d settle for another cat. Cats rule!
