Well, if you want to go by the title of this post, it does not describe the day we had here at The Garlic.

No offense to Mirabel (well, maybe just a little), but Ribsy really dug it when it was a cozy pack of three. There was no one growling while he ate his kibble, and no bony bum to bump up against......
