Stan and Oscar have made a lot of progress in the brothers department, especially when playing. Oscar still has a lot to learn about restraint, but Stan is so much better for having a playmate. While they quasi-snug occasionally, they haven’t really engaged in a full-on cuddle puddle yet, so imagine my surprise when I looked over and saw this.

Yep, Oscar was faceplanted into Stan’s prodigious gut and Stan had a front paw wrapped around Oscar’s little back. I was unprepared for surprise cute of this magnitude and almost died. Unexpected progress is sometimes the best progress.
