I knew for sure when he opened up his mouth and addressed me by name!</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The first thing he told me? That he doesn't like the name I gave him-even though Fluffy fits him like a warm sweater at Christmas.

Yikes!</span></p>
