As usual I had a great time with everyone. All were in good spirits, even Sophie perked up and we had a good 1/2 hour where she tore around the room, boy she's fast, you should have seen her flying through the tunnels. I gave her some time on her own while I walked the Moose-man, and then forced her to sit on my lap to get a treat, even managed to get a little lovin' from her. I think pant legs are something she cannot resist, simply because she can, she's so tiny she can just scoot up there unnoticed and find some nice soft flesh. She didn't get me, but I caught her a couple of times getting ready to try. So I turned aggressor on her and we had a blast. She was a hoot with the broom, running up to it and then running away, when it was just propped up agains the wall, when I started to sweep she flew around loads more. We actually got started playing when she started trying to jump over the door so I dropped her in the popcorn container (standing upright) to give her something to actually jump out of - no problem - she's quite the little athlete. But I was overjoyed that she interacted with me and had some fun. I know she misses her man, but I think she is slowly adjusting.
Moose loved his walk, he's such a smart boy, I really adore him. We had treats together, I think he just likes having company in the room, I cleaned the room and he nosed around a bit, laid in his cushion and watched me, he loves being talked to and he's getting fantastic on the leash. He knew his way home and when he decided he's had enough of the cold he headed right back to his own door .. such a smart boy!!
Freddy is really coming along nicely, she interacted a bit with the group, but also happyily chased balls in the toy container and played on her own. Butch pooped on (thankfully) the small blanket in his cage, the rest appeared to all be in his box. Pancake too appeared to have been using her box and I did manage to get up the last of the dried poop beside her cage, even after being soaked overnight it still needed more cleaner and a hard rub. She's quite the little slob, very, very, cute though. Butch also got quite aggressive with Sundance (while Freddy and Pancake looked on) towards the end of his time out, so he went to bed first.
Jinx, Loot and Cash were their usual adorable selves, Jinx is a total treat-hound. Someone wrote he was asking for snuggles, but honestly, I think he mainly wants the food !! Cash ate about 1/4 can - what he didn't eat Jinx was more than happy to finish it off, not that he needs it.
Cheers all, Sue
