Texas - February 2008 Photo Contest Entry

2008-02-01T11:43:00.000-06:00

"This is my baby boy, Texas. He's six years old (born May 7, 2001). For fun, he likes to lay on the back of the couch and watch birds out the window. He's decided to leave chasing the birds to the younger fellas.

Texas isn't picky about his food....but he does love his treats! (Whiskas Temptations - chicken flavor) If he wants a treat, he'll paw at my leg and say "mama." And, he won't stop until he gets what he wants - super spoiled! But, oh so lovable!!!"
