Hi all, Hope you had a safe and happy 4th. Couple of things. We live in Seattle and when the earthquake struck we did not notice any real change in the boys behavior. They had just woken back up and were doing their usual running around and chasing of the cat. Favorite...yes I am afraid I do, I love all of them very much, but Tawny, our first, is my favorite. He is more lovable than the other two. He loves to cuddle and give kisses. We have trained our boys to come to a squeaky toy. It is so funny to watch. No matter where they are, I squeeze and they come running. I have discovered I do have to change the type of treat once in a while. They seem to tire of the same thing everyday. I like this idea, it helps when I can't find one of them. Too many hidey holes, I guess. :-) Question: Teddy has a clothes fetish. He eats them. We have cloth in their cage and he doesn't bother with that, but on laundry day he will grab something we have worn and take off with it (amazing how fast he can run) By the time we find him and get it from him he a chewed a hole in it. (quite big, at that) This is in a matter of a couple of minutes. Has anyone else run across this problem and what can we do to stop this behavior. He has learned to get into the hamper also so that does not help matters. Our prayers and condolences to all sick, lost and over the rainbow fuzzies and their people. Thanks for your time Vi, Michael and the boys Tawny: Momma's boy Chiquito: Interesting! It's mine now Teddy: Mmmmm...this is yummy! [Posted in FML issue 2732]
