• “I’m Boris and I’m a mama’s boy. I MUST be touching her at all times. My motto is “if I fits, I sits”. I do not like change, it kinda scares me. I don’t like it when mom moves stuff around, when UPS or FedEx leave boxes on the steps (I make mom go get them before I’ll go outside). I love everyone once I get to know them, but I don’t like strangers. Once my mom kneels down with me, I know I’m okay and then I’ll LOVE you petting me! I’m very fuzzy because my coat is what mom calls wooly. People actually think I’m a WOLF! I’m not, my color is just called agouti which makes me look kind of wolf ish, I guess. I have blue eyes so that part confuses me.“

  — Nicole D.
