Paws Up and Away, Please!
Asa, I agree that after a long day it is nice to relax and put your paws up. I also appreciate that you feel comfortable around me to be yourself. And one can even argue that you’re being very thoughtful keeping your muddy paws off the bed. However, will you please stop using me as […]
