Master of Disguise

Shirley is a master at the pillow camouflage.

Yes, she did this on her own.  I only document it.

Shirley

I realized there's only one photo of Shirley.  Here's one of the first photos we have of her, when she was about 10 months old, hiding the ball from Marlin.

The Baby Sock in action

as per the vet's suggestion:

as per my idea to deal with the rain:

And... it was successful.

Baby Sox

Shirley is having allergies, so the vet recommended a sock on her foot to stop her from licking.  We did that.  Then today, it was raining, so I needed to devise a plan:

Space

So this is what zero gravity feels like.

Hello HAL, do you read me HAL?
Affirmative, Bounce.  I read you.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

Hair Brushing.

Like Marcia Brady, Bounce loves having his hair brushed 100 times.

True story.

Sue was in the laundry room and could hear Bounce below the counter, by the stool.
After a little bit she turned around and saw him.
(he was stuck.  He had stepped over the cross bar, and could not go forward or backward!!!)

4:33 pm

4:33 pm.
After a 12 hour day Sue heads up for a nap.
Shirley and Bounce follow.
3 minutes later it sounds like a bar full of drunks playing Dwarf Toss.
Then I hear a female voice "Ouch! Bounce!"


21 minutes later, gentle snoring.

The end.

Today's lesson

• Low Cupholder

• Wendy's Frosty

Driver's Seat

I had told Sarah of finding Bounce in the driver's seat, which she was relaying

to Dawn, when Dawn interrupted her and said "Bounce doesn't know how to

get out of the driver's seat!", which was the point of my story.

I have developed a new technique where I squeeze onto the seat and slide my

right hand under his belly and hoist him up like a platter full of pints of beer and

chicken wings and set him down in the center between the seats.  It's quite easy

since he goes into full paralysis mode when he's confused.

Hmmmm

They actually have a bed that nobody ever uses?

Pillow.

If I make a wall from a pillow, maybe that old dog won't know I'm on the couch too.

Day One

Day 1:
Where am I?
Who is he?
How late does he stay up?
How small is this chair?
I wonder if he has any food.
