I was impressed and proud beyond words when Timothy took his “giving no fucks” attitude to a whole new level in January 2018 when we went to see Emma’s few-months-old baby. Tim was sitting on my lap, Annette beside me, with the kid on her lap. The kid started to stroke Tim and he didn’t budge. We knew he’d never snap or tell the kid to go away, but the kid started to pull his fur – getting a fist full of fur, pulling as hard as it could, lifting Timothy’s skin up a bit.
He didn’t react at all. Not bothered. I’m she he knew that he could trust me to sort it out if it got out of hand. We were impressed that he didn’t even complain – even though we knew he wouldn’t actually snap.
