If you watch this...

you're going to want both a shell and a lint-dog as a friend and pet.
My favorite parts are:
When he says, "I'm afraid to drink soda because I'm afraid the bubbles will make me float up on the ceiling."
and
How he keeps saying, "Guess what I..."
and
How he says, "I love you, come on!" to his lint-dog. His name is Allen.
