Having removed all the yucky carpet from our house, my SO began to ponder last night that if we don't have any carpets, can Fidget still be a carpet shark? Or should we start calling him the Hard Wood Weasel? Then I pointed out we do have Oriental Rugs, so maybe he is the Rug Weasel? Fidget has a new toy. After I found him muching on his woobie! (old t-shirt part, tied in knots) I took it away. then I thought, we'll basically he'd kill for the woobie, so I tied it on the end of one of the many leashes we have and drag it around the house. he goes wild trying to catch it and then stash it. He is quite distressed when the woobie, which seems safely stashed, disappears. He doesn't quite seem to comprehend that if the woobie is not to be found, he might look in MOm's hands..whew...hope he doesn't catch on soon. Although, he has caught on about where his treats are stored. If he sees me standing in front of the tv he is right there at my feet. I keep his treat box beside the tv set which sits on one of those entertainment shelf things. So now if I want to get him to do his "trick" ...come running and then stand on his back legs when I yell treat (instead of standing there on his back legs staring at me because I'm slow), I have to make sure he is out of the room. He usually also comes to me saying in a very high pitched voice "come to mommy" but yesterday he wouldn't budge...until I yelled TREAT! cheers chris and Fidget, the WVU hard wood weasel?
