I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. And nobody…do you hear that, Lady Human? NOBODY touches the toes!
Me: I’ve heard that before. I don’t care. Eventually, toenails need to be trimmed. Especially when someone lounges around all day.
Stella: And who would that be? Hmmm? Lady Human? Lounging around all day?
Me: Hey, my nails are all trimmed.
Miss Sweetie: You can trim my nails, ma’am.
Me: Really?
Miss Sweetie: Here. Here’s my front right paw.
Me: Okaaayyy…Is this a trick?
Miss Sweetie: Nope.
Me: All right. Hey, that was easy.
Miss Sweetie: You sound surprised.
Me: I am. I am waiting for the other shoe…uh, paw to fall.
Miss Sweetie: Go ahead. Trim the others.
Me: Very well…Done.
Stella: Not fair. Sweetie is making me look bad.
Me: She is just being cooperative. You could cooperate.
Stella: That goes against everything I stand for. And as for you, Sweetie, cooperation? Not very bulldoggy!
Miss Sweetie: It’s not that bad, Aunt Stella.
Stella: Forget it! Nobody touches the toes!
