Wet Dog

I went to take Mojo on a walk at lunchtime and instead on going the normal route he turned right and took me to the park. I had planned on taking him to the park later this week when it was nicer out, but I went with it......

Even though it was drizzling and yucky out. But before I realized it, his paws were filthy. He was walking through mud puddles (not the sidewalk of our normal route) and he was going to have to get a bath when we got home (we have light carpet and the tub is upstairs.)

So I toweled off his paws downstairs and then bathed in all by myself upstairs. He's pretty good about getting bathed. He just tries to jump out of the tub too soon. We really need shower/tub or one of those adjustable hand held shower things that I could spray him with. After I washed him (yuck the tub was so disgusting afterward), I let him dry off on the porch. He really enjoyed watching the rain.


Wet dog.

That evening it was still raining and Mojo decided that it was his new favorite thing was sitting on the porch and watching the rain.  I kept the door open and he'd go downstairs and say hi to Matt, race up the stairs, watch the rain, go tell Matt something he saw and repeat.  I went out there at one point and found a balled up pair of socks. I don't know if he brought it out there because he was playing with it, he will sometime bring a song outside with him. But he had the biggest smile on his face from playing out the porch.  He loved it.

Water Bowl Mystery


Woke up this  morning to find a pair of Matt's socks in the water bowl. Hmm.....Wonder who put them there. The cats are usually the ones who put things in the water bowl, but these socks are heavy. But I don't think Mojo would do this on purpose. I guess Gunnar wanted to keep them safe...

UPDATE 12/29/11: Mystery Solved
I ate a bowl of soup upstairs and while I was doing some chores I heard bowls clinking around. I thought it was just Matt pouring himself a bowl of soup.....but he was on the couch. So I go in to bedroom to see Gunnar playing in my discarded bowl. And what's in the bowl? One of my socks.

Playing with water


Manxy cats are known for their love of water. Gunnar has hopped into bath water before, and he likes to hop in the bathtub whenever we open the bathroom door. The other day he hopped in the bathtub and I trickled on the water just to see what he would do. Answer: Play in it. He batted his paws under the drip, licked his paw and repeat. He had a lot of fun watching the water. He probably would have done it all day. I guess he'll have to settle for fighting with the humidifier.
