From John's Birthday - June 27, 2004...

We decided that, in honor of the day we would
take a picture of me HOLDING Fister.



How silly of us to think that that would be straight forward.

Please excuse the result, Fister may be quite tame now,
but he definitely still doesn't like being lifted,
as you can probably see from my strained expression
(he was gone 2 seconds later).
And that wasn't the first attempt!
Oh well, at least it seldom leads to bloodshed nowadays.

Fister can't understand what all the fuss is about,
I mean, it's only another soppy old human after all...
"ONLY another soppy old human..."

But one So Loved by so many...

A Treasure lost...




Rest In Peace, John ~ We *miss* ya!!
