After we'd already decided to keep his sister, there was just something that kept bringing me back to him!  We had hoped for a boy from this breeding as it was, so decided to keep him. He has been such a joy - a little bit clownish, and a whole lot of love and sweetness. He is a mama's boy, and best friend to his sister, Vision. He is very focused on my emotions, and keeps me smiling. We are excited to see what the future holds for this boy.
