From A Winter Past

I found this sweet shot of Stuffed with other saved photos and can't imagine why I didn't share it before.  It is from February 2012.  He looks like a kitten here but was around thirteen years old at the time.  Could he be any more adorable!?!  I can't imagine how he could have been any cuter when he actually was a kitten.  ♥  (He was a few years old already when Mike saw him for the first time, and he was around eight when I met him.)

Ohhh, my heart, he's the dearest, sweetest thing. 

'Love, love, love this little puffball.  The perfectly-curled tufts of white fur that stick out of his ears!  The half-black/half-white face!  He's perfectly designed, a work-of-art of an animal. 

The alternating black-white-black-white of his body!  And that he holds himself like this while he sleeps!  ♥ 

Truly like a favorite stuffed animal come-to-life, he's just such a precious little soul.  (And the pink toes. . . !  Gah!)  Sweet Stuffed.  ♥
