I think my dog is the craziest creature on earth and I’m going to tell you why.

First she’s scared of cats. Second she runs away when you call her and lastly she a retriever who doesn’t retrieve things.

Now my dog Pip is really weird she is scared of cats and I don’t mean a little bit scared. I mean terrified of cats, whenever she sees a cat, I mean any cat she runs behind my legs, shakes cowardly and whimpers. What kind of a dog is that?

Next whenever you call her she runs away but not like she’s scared of something but she’s not. She just wants to play.
