“A carrier. What does that mean?”
“Like right now. I need to get to your other side for a nap.”
“All you have to do is crawl over me.”

Fiction Favorites 
Twiggy sounds like my dogs, especially Lia. I guess she snuggled in close to hubby while I was gone for two weeks. Then wouldn’t leave my side when I returned. Dot’s only trouble is her annoying little sister.

You’re a trouble carrier? I never heard of that before, but I can see it. I’ll have to make sure not to share that term with Lucky, who would most certainly agree I am one, too.
It’s a good thing Twiggy has Bee Mine. She’ll need to share her troubles (since you’re not sharing your cereal). Sending her lots of ear scratches. Hopefully that will help ease her worries.
Thanks for the Thursday smiles, John.
