A small yellow haired dog stretched out on a couch, looking really comfy

We've had this little goober for exactly a week, and I would fucking die for her.

I have a potato.

He loves to do trust falls. You have to be ready to catch this potato at a moments notice.

Mine loves to lay down like that too

Fat cat laying on it's side/back with paws in the air

A potato is a potato, regardless of animal type.

He loves belly rubs, clamours for attention just like a dog. He's basically a dog.

I give my dog a treat. She drops some on the ground. I point at it and say "What's this?" She sniffs every part of the ground around my hand. I pick up the piece of treat and hold it under her nose. "What's this?!" She frantically sniffs around my wrist. She never finds the leftover treat bits.

Potate.
