Florence is a bitch. She’s totally pig-headed. For example, this evening when I cooked dinner (for both of us) she refused to touch it. It was nothing fancy, I know, just some ground meat and some rice, but you’d think food would be food. But, oh no! It’s wasn’t good enough for Florence.
She’s nine years old and behaves like she owns the world. She won’t go here. She won’t go there. She never does what she’s told; not a thing. She seems to go to bed when it suits her.
And two-faced; just the other day when I couldn’t get her to do a thing she was told, suddenly visitors arrived and she was all over them. Sweet as pie. Oh yes! She knows how to behave when visitors are around. It’s not half obvious to me that she wants something from them.
As I said, she’s a bitch, and one of the favourite dogs I’ve ever had.
You’re just the staff, don’t you know…

I saw the picture of the little girl Bruce and was fooled into thinking it’s about her!!!!
I read someplace that dogs have masters and cats have slaves….so maybe Florence is a cat disguised as a dog. But on another note, my son’s dog Buddy is adorable and many years ago when the neighbour’s cat Mickey adopted us, he loved us as a dog would!!

Yes, the picture was a little deceptive! My dog thinks he owns the place!

That is a lot of bitching about a bitch! But the old bitch obviously thinks the man is not his type.

I believe you could be a secret dog whisperer (although I’ve never known what that is!)

Dog whisperer….That is the stuff Magical Realism is made of. Maybe Florence was a lover after all!

Great surprise ending–and I’m so happy that even though Florence is a bitch the narrator loves her!
