Admittedly, she was a replacement for another more well loved mongrel, but she was never neglected.
Everyone loved her and were concerned for her well being — until they got to know her. She appeared smart, and seemed outwardly loving, but truth is, she was more cunning than cute. In time, we recognized her as a benign parasite, often getting herself into trouble with indifference towards those who spent countless hours working on her comfort and well being.
