My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

It’s me, Akoya! Also knows as Squishy Face. My mommy is Margie. Margie means Pearl, so my siblings and I are named after types of pearls! Oh and guess what! I was born here at HP on October 23rd. I am definitely a fan favorite with the hoomans. I have lots of personality and lots of love to give! Oh yeah, don’t forget the wrinkles! I have enough to share. I have the curliest tail of my siblings. I am a sweetie and really love to get all the attention! I love to throw my front feets into the hoomans hands so they know they need to pick me up next. I looove to be held by my humans and lay my face against theirs; I need to be eye to eye. I really enjoy belly rubs, too! Sometimes I fall over to remind them to pet my belly. Not going to lie, I may have a sassy side. Sometimes I have a lot to say to the hoomans when I get put back into my pen… Don’t they know I should be getting held right now?! I also like to play with my siblings and sometimes I sound like a gremlin! Call HP to meet me!
