  2. Oh yeah… Socrates??? I thought I named him Socks!!!
    Well I guess Socrates would be a good name and Socks a good nick. He will always be my Sexy Socky.
    Oh give them a pet for me….

  3. Cimeron, next time you see someone with a newborn baby, smell the top of its pointed little head! You will be amazed… there’s nothing quite like it. I can remember the scent: pure, delicate, musty, and too quickly lost forever.
