A Girl and her Lion

Once upon a time, at the turn of the century, Mamalion met the Leader of the Pride. A few months later, they rescued a miniature red lion who had gotten stuck at a suburban Toys R Us. They brought him home and discovered that his name was Rutherford (after the scientist, not the President, thankyouverymuch.)

Life was good. Rutherford made his home with Mamalion, LoP, and their dog Rosie. Things happened - they all moved to the Mountainhouse, Mamalion became a teacher, Rosie passed away. But then the biggest change of all happened: the Girl came. And Rutherford, who believed the Mamalion was the ultimate in human beings, fell utterly, completely in love. The Girl fell right back.
