surprise!

so...i've been in franklin for about 4 days (on and off) now. when coming home, my mom told me that i would be encountering a few surprises. surprises like...the house is for sale, my dad got a new lawnmower, my mom got a new car, my brother moved out and bought a ghetto oldsmobile that broke down 2 days later, etc. but, the most significant warning i got before arrival was this: MUFFIN'S HAIR IS GROWING BACK!
yesssss. friends, this is big. i love me some muffin. and she has been losing hair for a long time. we can't figure it out. but my parents got her on some new meds, and according to my mom, her hair was growing. cool.
however, on arrival at home, i soon realized that my mom's information was a bit skewed. for when i opened my car door, this is what i saw:

whoa, cathy. are we looking at the same muffin? are you kidding me? that's maybe the ugliest version of my best buddy that i've ever seen. poor muff. but, ladies and gents, have no fear. they are soon to try some new remedies to cure her. after all, her 11th birthday is coming up, and who wants to spend their birthday naked?
