Annabelle

She’s furlicious, sweet and kind. Not one bite of violence between her teeth. Loves a good rubdown of her ruddy physique. An old lady with a kick. Still knows how to gain access to your heart. Better than a child — wraps you around her paw. no cage please... no garage... no basement... She sneaks up the split-level stairs. She’d climb higher, if you’d let her, until this fine pit bull specimen, stares shamelessly into your mesmerized eyes, and kisses you on the cheek with her burlap tongue. 9/2/2018
*furlicious - combination of fur and delicious
