"Pontoon's new name is JAVIER and he loves it! He felt so comfortable since day one in our apartment. We moved to Miami and he loves it. We live next to the water so he loves to go to the balcony ( in my arms) and smell the salty water. He did great in the plane and doing more than great here as a new Floridian. We also got married here and he was present.
Also he loves to play catch!"
