Russell The Tween Magnet

Move over Edward and Jacob - you have some competition. For the past month or so here in Houston, Russell has elicited much attention from people of all ages. However, more recently he has been the subject of adoration for a plethora of tweenage girls. I have never before seen him fawned over, kissed, hugged, incessantly followed and even groomed by so many girls in my life. At the mall, at the grocery store and, conveniently, at the park, Russell has accrued a small army of happy helpers. I love it. I take advantage of any chance I can get of taking a break and these girls have been awesome. Sure, help my kid down the slide. Why not clean his messy hands with a wipe? Hmmm...I think I smell a number two; any takers? Going once, going twice and...sold to the prepubescent girl who obviously has malfunctioning olfactories! And to make matters better, Russell loves the extra attention. No he can't leap over trees or transform into a freaky canine but he's cute and needy which, apparently, is what all the girls are looking for. Hallelujah!
