Felix has been re-named

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Felix is now Tarzan because he currently is the King of the Jungle over here. I had to take him to the vet today as his tummy was so bloated and red. He was red from the middle of his belly to his rear legs and when I stimulated him, he would fuss and cry […]
