My Dog

Written by Shannon Leigh

Is currently a hairy beast.

I LOVE her like this. In fact I prefer her like this.

She looks like Snuffaluffagus... especially from far away.

Matt LOATHES her like this.

He won't let her on the bed and constantly complains about her nasty beard.

It's true, her beard is nasty. And it smells.

But I love her.

I could spend my days running my fingers through her tightly curled maine (if I didn't have a million other things to do).

I occasionally find my husband spraying her with febreze.

It makes her sneeze.

You wouldn't think it would take away the stench, but it does.

Her fur smells pretty fresh, you know, except for her beard.

She gets shaved on Sunday.
