Scaredy-Cat Dog














Is it a balloon? Is someone playing Peek-a-Boo with her? With someone else? Did someone jump? Is there a shadow lurking? It is often perplexing as to why Queen Esther Hunts shivers, slumps over then crawls in a corner.

Hunts is good about coming when she is called. She is good with children. She is the color of a perfect pancake, and she is affectionate. She is not soft. Hunts is not a good guard dog because, like Charlie Brown, she has panaphobia - the fear of everything.
