Langley loves to snuggle - seriously!

A lot of people have heard tales of Langley's energy and playfulness; how he can go-go-go.  But did you also know that this boy loves to snuggle?  Seriously, I'm not making this up!

I'll admit, at first we have to lure him into snuggle time with his favorite water buffalo horn to chew on and he will gnaw away intensely while you cover him with a blanket and set the stage for him to relax.

Then, like magic, it happens. Mid chew he will freeze in place and the horn drops from his mouth and then he lets out a big sigh, rolls on his back, and then looks up longingly at you, requesting a belly rub. After a couple minutes of belly rub he's out.

In fact he will be so deeply asleep that he'll occasionally let out loud snores. When in this state he can be moved from one person to the other and while his eyes are open, he's essentially comatose.

Langley uses Frodo as a pillow while being cradled in his foster dad's lap
The photo above is amazingly rare. Frodo doesn't trust Langley in the least bit and typically if Langley touches him like this he will jump off the couch to get away. He's not a Langley fan at all. However even Frodo sensed that Langley was so relaxed that it was safe to let him touch him.
