Gentlemen! Let us gather to celebrate decency and propriety in the venerable and ancient realm of Pet Ownership.
We shall loan this cattle market an air of respectability as we congratulate each other on the splendidness of our charges and sing the praises of our Mistresses. Or masters.
We shall do all this whilst impeccibly attired, brogues polished and hats worn jauntilly, smoking a cigarette and drinking the finest wines and whiskys.
Let the perfect bon mot be our rallying cry and let us sally forth unto the rabble where we shall swish our walking sticks and bring them to heel.
Huzzah.
