Puppy Blogging: Bewiched, Bothered, and Bewildered

How do the words of an old, standard love song pertain to my mother's dog?  First, she is a bewitching girl.  One look in her eyes and she captured my heart. Second, she is so excited when company come that my mother fears Matti is bothering us (which she is not). Third, it is bewildering how five sisters can have such differing attitudes about animals: two of us dislike pets with a nearly violent vehemence and three of us surround ourselves with creature comforts. Such disparity from kids raised in the same home?  It is puzzling.
