he does love me, I swear

But you wouldn't know it from the names he calls me. Specifically, I've been the subject of more animal comparisons in the past 19 months than in my entire life beforehand. A choice few:

whale
puffer fish
penguin
disgruntled owl
sandpiper
nibbly rabbit
minnow
hoarding mouse
chipmunk
busy ant
"one of those little cleaner fish that latch onto sharks"

I love you too, babe. :)
