She Is the Boss
She wanted him to fall in love with her cat, Cocoa.
So he did, to please her.
They got married after she was convinced.
She invited him to bring a new cat home.
He brought home Marshmallow.
They were happy - the he, the she and their cats.
Two years of pure happy.
Great news! A new baby would be here in September.
She suddenly decided to get rid of the cats.
Cocoa and Marshmallow would have to go.
She told him that he had to get rid of them.
He was shocked! He had never had a pet before.
But she was the boss.
So he boxed them up and took them to the pound.
Two hours later he heard meowing
He thought it was his own imagination due to his sadness.
Wrong. Marshmallow had escaped.
Found her way home.
He had a real struggle taking Marshmallow back to the pound.
But she was the boss.
That was sixteen years ago, and she still is.
