Last night I watched as my little deaf Panda, Cotton, full name (Cotton Tarantella Dancing Vampirella) jumped frantically at the side of the bathtub. I imagined that she was eager to see what was on the other side. Perfect time for a bath I thought. Since my house is on a slant the water filled the tub giving it sort of a shore line, more shallow at one end than the other. I watched with delight as Cotton walked from the shallow end to the deep end, snorkeling and then returning to the shore line. This was the first I'd observed "tub ottering" and I think I had as much fun as she did. [Posted in FML issue 3709]
