That was its more pleased face, when the trainer was holding it.
This is the face my girlfriend and I got.
I feel the pleasure was all ours in this meeting!

Wanted to make sure he didn't blink and ruin the photo. This really puts the size into perspective.
I don't actual remember it blinking at all. I'm sure it did though. They've got that bonus eyelid though that you can see in today's post in the one pic.
