Taffy was woven, not bred — a ribbon of silk from the Paisley mills, made for winning ribbons and breaking hearts in equal measure. She never worked a day in her life and saw no reason to start. When the Yorkshire Terrier arrived, smaller and louder, Taffy simply curtsied out of history.
She supervises Gizmo's grooming with the air of a retired headmistress and occasionally lets him win arguments about bows. Gizmo thinks he's manipulating her. Taffy invented the argument. She's letting him practice.
She's planning a comeback tour — one night only, all the old poses, silk coat gleaming. Every Spark will attend. Gizmo will heckle. She will pretend not to hear him and absolutely will.
