The audacity of it! Princess, the Pomeranian with the ridiculous little bow, trotted onto Amelia’s porch, leaving a trail of wet footprints. Amelia had pleaded, she’d even offered dog treats, but nothing seemed to deter Princess’s daily incursions.

Amelia’s face tightened. She spent the entire day online, researching dog deterrents. The internet offered a plethora of options.

She selected one with a high-pitched frequency, undetectable to humans. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, a slight smile playing on her lips. She arranged for it to be delivered. The thought of Princess, yipping and confused, filled her with a strange kind of contentment.
