"Astra dear, you simply cannot go outside looking like this. What if you lose any of them, hm? These are valuable things that your Mommy got for you."
The youngest pup just grinned at me and continued to fasten all of her pieces of jewelry onto herself, the vast amount of rings, bracelets and necklaces that now adorned her making her look gaudy... yet also very adorable.
Her auburn hair and fur were glowing in the light coming in from outside, while her radiant smile always lit up the room no matter what, especially whenever she was in trouble or knew she needed to convince people to do what she wanted.
It was that sort of 'manipulativeness' in Astra that sort of worried me about her future since she was extremely competent in weaving together words, looks and actions to get exactly what she wanted, whenever she wanted.
