This week Mokey discovered the couch - a couch she now loves dearly. In fact, her new favorite thing to do is to grab her puppy, climb onto the soft furniture and enjoy mouthing her toy. It's really quite cute. She's not allowed up when anyone has food, but when it's late and we're lazing around she finds herself a cushion, and she does take up an entire cushion.
Mokey's taking all of our Christmas activities in stride. The large polar bear decoration was mildly disturbing, but after it refrained from moving during its examination Mokey decided her initial drama was a tad unwarranted. Since she gets to tag along on some of our shopping trips and earns copious amounts of treats by doing so, she's agreed that that aspect of the holidays isn't so bad either. Not to mention she's an avid tree lover. If the object in question originated from her favorite plant then she's happy to have it around. Of course, this means that the Christmas tree we recently put up in the living room has to be barricaded off; which slightly defeats the purpose of having a decorated, meant to be admired, paid good money for a dying tree, tree. Because the tree has been relegated to isolation, the wrapping paper is perhaps the more frequent victim of Mokeys admiration. She's made several attempts so far and delighted in demolishing a sheet of neglected packing paper. If anyone brings up the puncture holes in their gift boxes I think I'll just have to explain that Mokey has to tie the bow somehow and a huge paw isn't very useful when attempting to curl ribbon.

Such a sweet baby! The way she sucks on her pacifier is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI saw we increase our "green" effort and use Mokey to shred the gift wrap after Christmas morning,
ReplyDeleteHopefully by next Christmas she will be co-exist with the tree, lol!
