The morning sun, usually a welcome sight, felt like a spotlight on the mess. A brown, lanky shape, the bane of her existence, pranced across her freshly mowed lawn, leaving muddy paw prints on the verdant perfection. Her jaw tightened, the muscles clenching in a way that had become all too familiar.

She slammed the back door shut, the sound echoing in the sudden silence. "Again!" she muttered under her breath, a low growl escaping her lips. This was the third time this week.

A quick glance confirmed the inevitable: chewed-up rose bushes, again. A wave of heat washed over her, making the skin on her arms prickle.
