ReplyDeleteIn a recent turn of events, I've become responsible for my aunts puppy. To begin with, I despise her puppy, she is the bane of my existence and is in some way, shape, or form, out to get me. Incidentally, I live with my grandparents, who love the puppy. My goal is to neglect her as much as possible, therefore, allowing them to care for her and leave me to my own devices. Since my aunt is away no one will inform her. In the end, the dog will be cared for and I'll be free of responsibility, and everyone is happy.
