Indeed he is a bit on the feminine side....but, felt it might toughen up, like Johnny Cash suggested in the song.

I had considered adding a bit of Portland mixture to his swill. But, I reasoned it may cause skin irritation, and would take too much time suiting him up with all the safety gear.....the sideshielded goggles, akali-resistant gloves, high waterproof boots and coveralls with long sleeves and full-length trousers and duct taping it all to his boots to keep mortar and concrete off shis furry skin.

And, he does wear contacts, and the dust may irritate his eyes. It is a task getting those contacts in and out every day.

Now don't get me wrong. The creature can't read that well, expecially with the eye condition. But, I read bed time stories to him each night. He prefers the ones I shared with you, rather than the normal monkey bed time stories....that fill the shelves at Corporate book sellers, like Chapters.
