The tales of a girl and her dog...
Dear Mr. Tuna… I really hate to say this, as I know you’re having such fun… But you should know that balls of yarn are for kittens to play with. Not puppies, and certainly not tunafish. Now don’t be difficult and please let go, mommy needs to put the yarn away. There there, Mr. Tuna. [...]
