Sandy My Buttons has also taken an unnatural interest in the Scoozie I received as a present. Buttons is deaf, but when Scoozie started vibrating and wagging its tail, Buttons knew it belonged to him! When I rescued it from him, he spent 20 minutes searching the house for it. I though the scoozie was safe on the dining room table, with the one chair Buttons can climb pulled out a safe distance. Hubby Richard and I were working together on the computer. All of a sudden, we hear "Uh oh!" coming from the bedroom. Buttons managed to get on the table, steal the scoozie, drag it literally behind our backs to the bedroom, where he must had inadvertently turned it upside down, activating it's upside down sensors. Buttons was NOT happy when we took it away from him again. Every time he gets out of the cage he looks for it, and tries harder than ever to get on the dining room table, even if I let him up to show him the scoozie is not there. We're away visiting family for a few days. Scoozie and Caruso came with us, but Buttons and Cookie are at their auntie Norma's. I hope this separation will make Buttons forget his new love. We'll see... Linda Iroff Oberlin OH [Posted in FML issue 3282]
