CONSPIRACY

"THEY ARE POISONING ME."

A household authority issues a chilling verdict.

The water bowl has been deemed unsafe. Witnesses confirm she now drinks exclusively from puddles, gutters, and "whatever that is by the fence." Sources close to PFEIFFER say she will not comment until the bowl is removed entirely.

"the bowl, she says, has betrayed her." — a friend, speaking on condition of treats

MAILMAN APPROACHES.
AGAIN.

Day 730 of an unwinnable standoff.

Eyewitnesses confirm she once again carried the day's correspondence to an undisclosed location and "rendered it confetti." Insiders describe the behavior as "a love language."

"the postal service is aware." — a neighbor, hedging

she just stares, friends say
HEARTBREAK

THE BUNNY
THAT GOT AWAY.

Months later, she has not moved on.

Friends report she still scans the yard at all hours. "She just stares now," a source explains. "It's haunting. Have you ever seen a star this devoted to a single grievance?"

"every blade of grass is a suspect." — our yard correspondent

JESS
ARRIVES.

The treat dealer was seen on the property again last week.

Upon recognizing the visitor, PFEIFFER reportedly insisted on pets — and could not be moved. Witnesses describe a sustained, immobile state of demand for affection. Many kisses were given. Many, many kisses.

"she would not budge. she would not stop kissing." — Pfeiffer's emotional advisor

S

THE ROBOT VACUUM

a.k.a. "THE DEMON PANCAKE"

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

The only being she fears. Evacuates entire floors upon the demon pancake's activation. Has not been forgiven. Will never be forgiven.

A

THE MAILMAN

a daily aggressor

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Pushes paper through the slot. The mail does not survive. PFEIFFER considers this her unpaid second job.

B

THE BUNNY

at large; yard-adjacent

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Subject of ongoing surveillance. Status: still alive, infuriatingly.

??

THE LAWNMOWER

the paradox

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Larger and louder than the demon pancake. Paradoxically engaged in combat. Researchers baffled. Funding requested.

* Simon was considered for inclusion but is technically a known associate. See: THE PACK.
