Rapscallion Annie

When I was a child I read a lot.  I remember one book, about a Japanese child and her cat.  It's where I learned the word: rapscallion.  And there are many words that describe Annie, rapscallion just about sums her up.  Total mischief.  She still has not outgrown the sock stealing game, where she gets a sock, scrambles down stairs, and waits, tail wagging, for you to discover your sock gone, Annie with it, and game on.

I simply love her energy, except when I am impatient.  She continues to make me laugh, out loud, every day.  She is a rapscallion labrador retriever.  Part of the breed standard, I think.

Murphy's Day.
