Hug Me Honey Honey, Kiss Me Honey
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 21 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
And he walked to me with all the love in his eyes, for a teddy bear hug. It was the time for me to excuse myself because for sure i was in no position to handle so much love in his eyes, and i would have become history, had i hugged this little cute fella. ;-)
Enjoy!!!!!
@ally!: Haha... he wont eat you for sure. LOL!!!
@Dave: Thanks Dave. :)
