Texfurr

Mike just arrived back from attending some work training in Houston.  He brought back a red "Houston" shirt for me and a Longhorn stuffed animal for Josh.  Josh was thrilled.  Last year Mike brought back a stuffed beaver for him from Oregon, which he named Pancake, because "his tail looks like a pancake" Josh said.  When Mike asked him what he was going to name this new animal, Josh said "Furry, because he's really furry."  Mike didn't like the name quite as much as he did and so suggested he name it Tex because it came from Texas.  Josh wasn't biting.  Later, they negotiated and his name is now Texfurr.  Gotta love compromise.  Texfurr has now joined the elite group of Josh's sleeping partners.  The first member was a stuffed dog that he had gotten as a baby.  His name is Cuddly.  Why? "Because he's so cuddly" explained Josh.  Pancake was next and now Texfurr.  Josh told Mike that he can't wait for him to go on another business trip so that he came bring him another animal.  He wants Mike to go to a place where they have lots of birds, so that he can bring him home a stuffed bird.
