Subject: A Year with the Tottering Old Man Justin Harrison

Tomorrow will be one year that the Tottering Old Man, Justin Harrison  
has been with me. His beautiful mommy, Suzanne, left early for the  
Bridge so he came to live with me here.

Justin has the amazing ability to make everyone - and I do mean  
everyone - fall in love with him.  He is sweet, charming, handsome  
and just loves to be held. Justin is a beautiful coppery rex with a  
snow white tummy. He has a nose that looks like it belongs on a tiny  
reindeer (makes him very popular at Christmas) and he is the happiest  
little guy you'll ever meet.

Justin is known here as the Tottering Old Man as he, well, totters.  
He bobs back and forth and occasionally falls over but picks himself  
right up. Usually, he just props himself up against Edmund who is a  
sweet Flemmie and makes a very nice retaining wall. Justin is twelve  
and counting and still loves his food, his pets and a clean  
litterbox. His very special friend Edmund always looks out for him  
and the lovely Miss Francesca is his best girl.

Justin doesn't get around much as he has arthritis but he hops from  
box to box in the warren, he comes out anytime there is a rattling of  
paper or plastic (FOOD! TREATS!) and he gets along just fine despite  
having a large cataract in one eye. He has a little ramp to get in  
and out of his boxes and lots of soft rugs he can lie up on in his  
warren. Despite his small size, he is quite capable of jamming  
through a bunny barricade to reach a food bowl, they all make way for  
him out of respect.

Funny thing... I didn't know if the Harrison Garrison would blend  
with my girls but they all love each other very much and melded in  
just a couple of hours. Even Q, who is a werebun, loves Justin and  
grooms him despite the fact that Q is the alpha.

Dear Justin, I hope you have many more years at my warren. Your mommy  
Suzanne loves you and I love you.
