and a little Baby M.

• She only ate pizza and chocolate
• no wonder she was so little

One day, Baby M asked


Please, please, please, can I have a baby
brother?
Mama M and Dada M looked at each other in horror
and simultaneously shouted out, NO!

Who tore the garbage apart and spread it all
over the kitchen?, cried Mama M.
Who ate all my Christmas chocolate?, wept Baby
M.

Back to the pound you go!, shouted all three.

behaviour.

• She hung her head in shame.
• She cowered submissively on the floor.
• She rolled over on her back.
• She gazed pleadingly at the 3Ms.

Mama M and Dada M looked at one another, and both
spoke at once
Were definitely keeping this dog!
And thats the true story of how the 3Ms and the
beagle became a family.
