💙 Foster Note

She has a super charming crooked smile and she watches tv like a human. She loves blankets and will find something blanket adjacent and gingerly drag it to her bed. We’ve also noticed she admires herself in reflective surfaces which she absolutely should because she’s very handsome and beautiful. Everyone thinks she’s a puppy and coos over her on walks. She’s really well behaved you could bring her anywhere.
