Simon the orange furball was a neighbor to Chris in the summer of 2003 -- unfortunately he and his buddy Calvin disappeared that fall, probably whisked away by departing college students.

Fun for both ...

More of Simon after shedding his winter coat -- according to Chris there was an explosion of orange fur all over the yard.
These were taken in June of 2003.
