Airing of Grievances

I think poor Olive has finally had enough of Freddy, because she made a break for it this morning. Like, for real. Normally her escape attempts are limited to the front steps. But this time she bolted down the block. When I gave chase I managed to rip my damned jeans. In the crotch. [...]
