Monsters!!

Monsters…we fear them as children. They’re portrayed as hairy, having enormous teeth, and massive claws. We’re told they are evil , later to find out its all make-believe and part of a fantasy world.

What if I told you, there’s a monster that I love? Not only is it hairy and has big teeth, but it also has enormous claws. Her name is Diamond. She weighs over 100 pounds, and is the friendliest, cutest monster ever! She is my fiancés dog.
