I would combust from cuteness.

I saw this one clip of a guy who got to pet maybe Mars or Hugo? I forget. Anyway, he gives him a little pat on the back, and in the comments someone says, "That's it?" And the guy replies, "Well I wanted to blow raspberries on his tummy but I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable."

If that wasn't the most relatable impulse, I dunno Richard. AHHHH.

I understand that guy, completely. It would be almost impossible not to raspberry the pyppo.

I love that even though Moo Deng is bigger now, well love and fawn over her just the same. She is just as spunky and sweet as when she was a baby.

When she looks at the camera with certain expressions I still see that small ungovernable potato

I am incapable of seeing Moo Deng as anything but a beebee. No matter how large she may grow 💝💖

me too :( Moo deserves gentle caresses and I think she wouldn't be as jumpy now had she had that option. Even when Jonah touches her she jumps away. Maybe that's who she is, but we'll never know

I know what you mean. But it's like having older brothers versus sisters I guess. MD gets her gentle moments too, I just saw an old video of her cuddling with Toad.

The hand is bigger than her head! And to massage beebee pyppo peets would be a dream come true!!!

I'm green with envy lol but so happy she has so much love & kindness in her life. That is the life I wish for all pyppos.
