Yes, but he has got the shades though. He should be in plain clothes with just one of them curly wires coming out his tab, a bulge in his armpit, talking to his wrist all the time. Nobody'd know then, lol..

Poppy.jpg

 

Five years ago 'Poppy' dragged herself home, with terrible injuries after being hit by a vehicle. She had multiple injuries, one being her back leg literally hanging on by a thread. My daughter and husband drove her to a B-ham vets, for what we expected to be a one way journey. I stayed with my G-daughter and prayed that 'Poppy' would be put to sleep quickly to take away her pain. We were all devastated. The vet said, lets give her a chance? They amputated her leg and stitched all of her injuries. This is 'Poppy' today, as happy as Larry, loving life, three legs and she can run like lightening. What's more 'if cats can feel love, I get the feeling she loves me' as soon as I enter the room, she is on my knee. My daughter says I should be honoured as she is very choosy. If only she knew what I was thinking that night five years ago. Sorry Pops, but your OK now gel.:biggrin:
