Its always a girl man. My wife, two daughters, partner at work, sister, mom, dog, and cat. All girls everywhere I go. I used to wish for that when I was younger. I got tricked.

They are rather weird, they get it from their owners though.

But they are still awesome.

We just finally started leaving them out of their kennel when we go to work yesterday.

They love not being cooped up.
