Rico's River: 9/25 - If You Wanna Be My Mother

Okay, so I've been a "house pet" for a few days now and I'm starting to discover things that I REALLY enjoy. Don't worry, I've compiled a list of everything that I like so far. This list will most likely expand so the things that I love include, but are not limited to:


  1. Hugs, LOTS of 'em
  2. Kisses on my noggin
  3. Ear massages as I fall asleep
  4. More noggin smooches
  5. Tell me how pretty I am
  6. Tell me how much of a good girl I am
  7. Pupperonis
  8. Squawky Toys
  9. Back scratches
  10. Neck massages
  11. You guessed it! More kisses!
  12. The smell of eggs cooking
  13. That little bit of chicken the human boy dropped at dinner last night. (He tried to pick it up, but I was too swift!)
  14. Trash talking the stray cat
  15. and holy heck - PEANUT BUTTER
Additionally, I have composed a song to the tune of "Wannabe" by Spice Girls, *ahem*:

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I really, really, really wanna peanut buttaaah!

If you wanna be my mother,
You have got to kiss,
Kiss me on my noggin,
THAT'S the way it iiiiiiis!


Obviously, it's a work in progress, but that's all I have for now.



Reference for my future family to know how I like to be hugged.
(Foster Mom took me to her friend Abi's for a play date.)




"Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?"




Foster Mom bribed us with a Pupperoni to take an adorable picture. Once again, I'm in the middle because I'm amazing and deserve to be center of attention.
