these are pretty. Albert isn't looking so hot. I went to pet him and he bit me!

Ow! Petting Opuntias is not recommended by the National Council on Cactus Safety. You could ceremonially walk Albert over to the field, dig a hole about twice as big as his roots, and set him free. Or you could have me give him a checkup the next time I'm in town.

He might just need some water. He's not very high maintenance, unlike his former owner. :-)
