“Why Did You Warn Us About Your Dogs?”

They’re perfect angels!

Six women were coming over to learn to make soap, so I sent a group text warning them that I have two crazy but friendly dogs that “should calm down after they get their required amount of attention.” I was worried because I’ve never had that many people over. I didn’t know how they’d react.

Kathy arrived. Sunny barked at her. Charlie stole her apron, but he gave it back (I traded for it with a treat). Ashleigh arrived. Sunny barked more.

The dogs greeted everyone else politely. They got bored and played outside while we made our soap.

Kelly asked, “Why did you warn us about the dogs? They’re so sweet!”

Charlie and Sunny want people to think they’re perfect, but I know the truth. They can be a little crazy.
