Good thing you are shedding that fur, rather than ingesting it and having to expell hairballs . . . that would be yucky and you wouldn't want to suffer through that hassle! It sounds like you have repayed your guardians many times over for their kind deed of bringing you into a caring environment by keeping the rodent population under control, and most importantly by your loving spirit. Your photo looks like you have sampled a bit of the wine in celebration of your COTD honour, and are now off to dreamland . . . . . . your story and picture are both so enjoyable and I hope you don't sleep through your special day in the spotlight, brawny Beau!
