I am Delilah, and this is being typed by the servant of myself and Zsa Zsa. I have a new game for Omar. Get your local vet to put either you or Mitsie on special expensive food that only the one of you is supposed to have, and then swap bowls...

This is so uplifting, Lore, and a wonderful take on the IP. I love the pear analogy (although quite a fan of pears myself, I get the point!). I am going to show this to a family member who is going through a bit of a tough time at the moment,...
