The Little Empress

My goddaughter's been spending the week here, protecting us from squirrels, trick-or-treaters, the mailman, and my mom.

At 14, Andie has mellowed a bit but is still firmly in charge. Just ask Zap and Devo, who defer to her in their own home as they do chez elle. Smart boys.

When she started balking on a walk the other day, Dan plunked her into my lap, where she remained as we pressed on, pointing staunchly forward like Napoleon at Austerlitz.
