Then the dramatics started. The crying. The wiggling. Stardust was being gentle…kind off. Liss had too much dirt on her. Too much mud. She had to put a little umph in her work, but luckily the mud was rather quick at getting out.
”LISS! Hold STILL!” Stardust yelled out, though not in a mean way just a…loud way. ”It is…for…the…PUPPIES!” she continued, wrangling Liss with every word. Stardust concentrated on the worst spots next…the paws, the legs, and the underside. Her face was shocked at times, having to pull out twigs and stickers.
”We are going to bathe you more often so it won’t take as long next time!” Stardust exclaimed, not sure if she could contain Liss for much longer. She was able to get the worst offending parts, but clean to perfection? Stardust didn’t think Liss capable of such a thing.
