From my notebook:

• San Diego Humane Society: "Prepare to fall in love with gorgeous Fluffy's sweet and mellow demeanor! Fluffy can be a little fearful of new people and surroundings, as well as certain forms of handling. Because of this, this gentle gal would do best in a home where she can receive extra time and patience, and one without small children, please. She would also be happiest in a home without any small dogs or cats. This lovely lady is always ready to go for a leisurely drive or chase after one of her favorite toys. If you think Fluffy (562556) is the right fit for your family, come visit our San Diego campus to learn more about her!" (Facebook)
