The addition of Bertie really brightens up this painting. He fits right in and makes the room look more welcoming , and all he asks for is just a little snack.

This is true, Bertie Fan. He asks so little and gives so much. I really do think he looks better in the chair than the floppy, ol' book that I cloned out.
