Hello, Sherman! We're also in Ohio, and I have a Sherman, too - but he's a siberian husky! He was born near the birthplace of General Wm. Tecumsah Sherman, also here in Ohio. You sound lovely, and smart, too. It must have been quite a surprise for your woner to hear you say you didn't want to go back in your cage! You have a lovely day, in or out of your cage, sweetie, and congrats on being Pet of the Day!
