When you’re a stuffed cupcake, it’s like you’re getting your cheeks pinched by a creepy movie aunt every second of every day. Forever. Sticking with (on) Ernest seems to help diffuse the attention, though.

Ernest is a funny one. Honestly, I’m not 100% convinced he’s as anxious as he says he is, but I do know he doesn’t get out much. Who could blame the guy, though? He’s not exactly made of wallflower material. He’s all dots and flashes mashed up like the 4th of July. He’s a walking conversation starter (except that he can’t walk on his own)… not that I have it much better!

*Arlington and Ernest must be adopted together. Please fill out separate applications for each.
