Comfort Interrupted By The Puparazzi
Frankie Suave was quietly curled up in the corner of Hu-Dad’s study when he suddenly found his comfort interrupted by the puparazzi. The blanket in the corner of the study is coveted. Much of the day, Cheoah has it claimed, but if she heads to the den for her couch, Frankie Suave claims it. He…
