My accomplished accursed house, bar the bedrooms and bathrooms, is accessible plan and traversed by several prickly-footed out-of-control JRTs.
Their fat absorptive paws blot through the fields, woodlands, muck abundance and more.
They cannon through the dog aperture in one abrupt mob, accelerate up to, and bang with the fridge.
