Thank you @done......I agree with @xpilar..... the benefits of a trimming are sure to inspire and invigorate him.
So appreciate your endeavours to give this gentleman a chance at life...in the end it is his decision. I appreciate hearing you say paraphrased......'I am waiting until he decides'......God waits for us He is the epitomy of a gentleman.
All the best to you and your endeavours.
Ciao!
