I'm super cute and the best cuddler though so it makes up for the times I ignore you when you call me or refuse to get up and come lol. I love to play with my brother and take his toys to try to get him to play with me. I also love to steal his treata, but hey its his fault for leaving them laying around. I can be super high energy at times and other times super lazy.“
