One might wonder why that I say my Bluetick is lonely when I mentioned the fact that Sweetie has her little rat-dog. The reason is that Elvis, poor fellow, is merely a dog, whilst the rat-dog believes that she is not. I'm not that sure what she believes she is. It's difficult to say since she has a brain the size of a walnut, but what matters is that she ignores Elvis.

My Bluetick is beneath her notice y'see.

I can relate to that.
