So you remember Snugs from the daily dose days. I keep up with her on FB. She is married now and they both love traveling.
I do remember Snugs! Wow, that is wonderful news.
I also had a neighbors’ donkey that would “hug” me every time he saw me. I am not quite 5 foot tall and since we were about the same height, he would lay his head on my shoulder and snuggle. His name was Jack, but he answered to Snugs when I called him.
Sounds like your little guy is a snuggler.
