Yes he was, my neighbor had been moving her plants from her garage back outside after our first freeze at the beginning of December and he was hiding under one of the pots. She called me over because I was outside working on something, and that's how I ended up with Little Dude. He didn't have a lump until around the 2nd week of January, and even then it looked more like he just bumped something because out how small it was. It didn't really grow until a couple weeks ago when it got more and more noticeable.
