"The six cats, two dogs and one musician live in Galway"
"Louis, be good! Stop fighting with Teddy! Stumpy, get off the table! Begley, leave Fonzie alone!"
"There are various barks, growls and miaows that indicate the animals are communicating their own opinions back to Sharon Shannon about a stranger in their house, disrupting their Saturday morning routine."
Sharon Shannon lives in Galway with six cats and two dogs and balances life as a musician with a busy household. The pets vocalize frequently, using barks, growls and miaows to register their reactions when an unfamiliar person enters the home. Saturday morning routines are interrupted as the animals express curiosity, displeasure or excitement. Shannon issues commands—calling names like Louis, Teddy, Stumpy and Begley—to manage scuffles and chaotic behavior. The household dynamic is animated and noisy, reflecting close, interactive relationships between Shannon and her animals and their strong responses to visitors.
