In the last few days, Snoball has gained so many fans and admirers at the store, that people come in and ask, "Where's Snoball?" I had a family offer me more than a thousand dollars for him. Much to their dismay, I told them that Snoball was absolutely priceless and was not for sale. He won the hearts of several little girls who brought him papaya by the handful once they found out that he liked it. He had so much papaya at his feet that he didn't know what to do with it all! He's made friends with men and women, both young and old. No one is too small or too big to be Snoball's friend. He even seems to have overcome one of his fears. In the past, Snoball has been a bit, well ... racist. It seems that he had a bad experience with a black male, and ever since then he's been frightened of people with dark skin. But the other day we introduced him to one of David's friends, who happens to be black. Snoball willingly, and of his own accord (without any help from us) stepped onto his shoulder, and began to investigate him. Of course, I'm sure it didn't hurt that Anthony (David's friend) was eating french fries at the time - one of Snoball's favorite foods. -lol-
Anyway, Snoball is doing very well at the store and spends most of his day bouncing on the swinging perches and luring people in with an outstretched foot and a "Hi Snoball." They fall for it every time, and once he's on their arm he makes it impossible for them to put him down! He really knows how to ham it up and work the crowd. He steals treats and toys from customers' baskets and they don't even get mad at him. -lol- I don't think Snoball could possibly be happier.
