Great idea! I'll ask the butler to get the special crystal glasses ready! 🍷🍷And bring Ebony too, 🐈‍⬛
Wee glitch on the name there. Ebony was one of dogs🐕‍🦺 from years gone by, a big boy at 90kg, but absolutely adorable. The current black cat, the menace, is called Diablo 🐈‍⬛ and he lives up to his name 😻😻😻. I’ll definitely bring Diablo as he loves to leave black fur over the legs of everyone he meets
