\nJingle jingle. Scratch. Why won\u2019t this thing come off?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI was sitting on some pillows glaring at Kaylee when Grandma came into the room and stuck a red thing on my neck. It has a bell. It won\u2019t come off. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI sound like a damn dog! I can\u2019t sneak up on Kaylee and jump her anymore. True tragedy. (Well, actually, I can still jump her. I just can’t be sneaky about it.) <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI made my displeasure known, and the bell was removed — but it was replaced by an almost-as-jingly plate. That, however, is better, because it can fit in my mouth. Chomp. I’m leaving my mark on the thing with my sharp teeth.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n(P.S. I think I saw my name on the plate before I started chomping. And maybe a phone number. And I see that Kaylee has a turquoise one and Noxie has a blue striped one. So perhaps they just don\u2019t want to lose me.)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
