Say what?

Hey, Paws and claws, 'sup?
Yes, that's Grandpa Hoover de Smoot. He's my grandfather on my dad's side. That other fellow with him is his brother, Calvin de Smoot. That's where I get my fearless aggressiveness from. The de Smoot's were legend around this neck of the woods. When Hector de Smoot was brought in by a rich farmer who could afford to have the best, he set a new standard for protection. Yeah, ok. The farmer wasn't really a farmer...he ran whiskey from one side of the State to the other! Great grandpa Hector would patrol the perimeter and keep out any unwanted intruders or snoops! Nothing got past ole Hector. He raised his sons to follow in his footsteps and they worked for years running the perimeters and protecting the "farm".
By the time my father, Snerdly de Smoot came along, Moonshine wasn't so popular and the farm was converted to a dairy farm. Papa Snerdly was bored walking the perimeters of a dairy farm, and he decided to take off and make his fortune elsewhere. That's when he met my mother, Gloria, and Snerdly and Gloria de Smoot went on to have "ME!"
So ya think I'm a little shrimp, huh? Well, maybe for the moment, but this is me and Ma. Yep. Ma was a youngun when Pa Snerdly met her, but by the time she finished growing, watch out world! I guess Pa should have had a clue by the size of her feet, but it twasn't her feet he was looking at! I mean, you think I'm a tiny little thing, but I've just not caught up yet.
As of today, I've got heels down to a science...I can nip the hell out of a perfectly good set of ankles. And I can swim!
