Hello Tubby, you handesome guy! Your fur looks so soft, I almost reached out to the screen hoping maybe I could pet you! Good for you for not letting your loss of hearing get you down. Sorry Sweetums doesn`t like you too much right now, but hopefully she will come around soon! You sound like such a sweet, kind boy who has really touched his humans` hearts! Congratulations on being our COTC today, Tubby. Enjoy your day.. maybe Sweetums will even give you a little congratulatory headbump!
