The Nail Biter

He bites his nails beside me on the bed so loudly! This strange habit is most grating. I’d like to throw a pillow at his head, but he would just continue, not abating. I’m used to just how vexing he can get, like when he begs for food that I am eating. When someone comes to call, he gets upset; then settles down and gives a gleeful greeting - Unless the visitor is someone small! He sits and stares if I pick up a child then panics if the infant starts to bawl. I love my doggy though he gets so wild! Although a naughty child himself is he, how sweet and trusting is his love for me.
