What a beautiful photograph of you, Simon, in all your athletic glory! I'm very happy to hear you adore cats and I don't blame you for being upset when they rebuff you . . . don't let that faze you . . . maybe they just need their space, and being as you are a big, gorgeous doggie they are a bit intimidated and unsure if you might be harmful. Nice to hear you are way too good-natured and only want them to accept you . . . and your baths! Congrats on being chosen as our spectacular DOTD!
