Story[]
Buttercup is an abandoned dog. According to her description card, she is a cocker spaniel, golden retriever, bouvier des flandres and rottweiler mix. Lorelai temporarily wants to adopt her, but is talked out of it after being reminded of her treatment of Skippy the Hamster. Buttercup is skittish, her card reads, and tends to react badly towards blonde haired females, brunette males, children of either sex, other animals, red clothing, cabbage or anyone in a uniform.
