Betty was arranging her toy collection and she decided that the best location for her octopus was on my right foot.

I wanted to know the meaning of the piece, but Dadaist Betty danced away and went to look out a window.

I posted the Betty covered with snow and the Tibetan prayer flag pictures at the same time [on Facebook].

If any likes were to be given, I expected the Betty covered with snow picture to get the most. But I was wrong—the Tibetan prayer flag picture is way more popular. Betty is not even one year old, yet her stardom has already passed its peak. I guess the “fame is fleeting” adage has claimed another victim. I tried to be gentle when I explained that retirement was now her best option, that a comeback attempt would drain her treat reserves, but all Betty wanted to do was to play with her rubber chicken and have me chase her around the holly bushes in the snow. As her co-manager, I’m supposed to be concerned with the bottom line, but Betty only cares about her art.
