Bonnie Lasses by Tina Newberry: Critters

My apartment has been seriously "cleaned up" in this painting. The kitchen has a realistically cluttered look. Therein sits my real cat Melba, who will take your arm off if you look at her funny. The room I am in is as fakely tidy as the dog I'm holding is non-existent. She is Agnes, my future Boston Terrier, whose life will be threatened by Melba.
