Osip: Epilogue

After a magical day and a half, Osip found a new and permanent home.  He moved in with my dear friend Aigul and her roommates.  I'm very glad to have gotten him adopted by friends, so I can still visit him and watch him grow.  Plus, they kept his name, which probably no one else would have done.  I already miss him terribly, but I'm not trying to stay in Russia forever, nor do I care to deal with the red tape of exporting a pet.  So, on to bigger and better beasts!
