The orange boy, Pumpkin, was returned because of allergies . (I am always suspicious of that excuse, especially after having the cat for 7 months)

And I should be smart enough to use some sort of apron, but I do so many dog/cat jobs without issues (I do it every day for heavens sake) that I never think something will happen. For me, it is only the important things that get ruined, never my work shirts.
