~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of our hair’m is a smooth as black velvet short-haired fellow (when you look him in the face-he slightly resembles a gorilla) and I had $600 burning a hole in my pocket from Big Gov, so I commissioned an artist from Tijuana to paint an image of dogs cheating @ poker on one side, and an angelic image of Elvis on the other side. I’m considering putting him up for sale on eBay, but would Etsy be a better venue? Susan the other cats are so playful they’ve gotta be clos...
