So this guy is not on the waiting list for any kind of treatment, but it does make us wonder if he is in pain. We've seen him many times this season, and the word is he's been seen occasionally for the past 4 years. Seems to be getting on just fine.
But definitely worth a picture and a long look and a good chuckle.
We're trying to think of a good name for him. Any suggestions?
