Her name is Judy Sereni and if you see her, be gentle. Getting older isn’t easy for any of us but she was always the kid in the family so this marks a turning point that none of us want to face… though, as you can see from this picture, she’s not going down into old age without a fight.
I don’t care what anyone says. For so long as I pay the bills, I should get first dibs on where I sleep on my bed. So Snowy, please stop growling when I move you!
