This is wonderful. And, “If the family ask, I am in Russia hunting bears.” made me laugh. I can see that now as someone’s email tagline!

Well done! Loved the PS! This question — “And how is Titus? Has he grown out of eating flowers?” — made me giggle!

Awe, I’m jealous…this seems like the most fun anyone can have on Christmas. Don’t worry, Tiberius, your secret is safe with us, you old softy. Wishing you a Merry Christmas as well, Chance!

This is delightful. Such a warms story! I like to see his heart melt for the kids to the point of taking action – just what an adventurer would do when moved!

Well done!

Merry Christmas to you!

Wonderful, simply wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Presumably the 30 year old stew is one of those pots into which is chucked whatever happens to come to hand week to week?

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! Another great tale. Wouldn’t do to be thought of as a softy, that’s for sure. Adds to the mystery, too!
