Getting Past the ABC's - Annoyance, Bedlam, and Chaos

I’ve renamed the dogs. Let me introduce them. Annoyance is on the left. Bedlam is front and center and Chaos is on the right.

I suppose he wasn’t feeling well, since I was awakened to the sounds of him throwing up on my pillow – right next to my head. That was quite disgusting. It was annoying enough to be awakened – not to mention the need that followed to get out of bed to change the pillowcase. Thus his new nickname, Annoyance.
