Georgie, fresh from an adventure in what I can only describe as a mud bog disguised as a backyard, was a sight to behold. His usually pristine white fur, a hallmark of his Maltese heritage, was mottled with an impressive array of brown splotches. His tiny Yorkie beard, typically so distinguished, drooped with muddy gravitas….
Georgie was, to put it mildly, a terror on the leash. Our morning walks resembled a frantic crab scuttling sideways, punctuated by her abrupt attempts to eat every discarded wrapper and mysterious street puddle.
