Living with Anteaters

July 28th
Mom found a little grasshopper with one leg in the garden. It was yummy.

Taking baby for a ride
Aurora and her 6 month old girl Ori(11 pounds at the time)

I can't get in
Aurora sat on it then tried to lift the top to get inside.

This belongs in the closet
Could you move it back now

Aurora explores

Checking out the old house

Toilet paper

Pua says hello

Pua tries to take a ride
I had guessed Aurora as the younger one but she does treat Pua like a child on account of her being "special", you know not knowing anteater manners and hanging out with people.

Aurora take Ori to the playground

Hey mom, wait for me

I go where you go

What you doing under there?

Should I climb up

I think I'll go down

July 29th
I opened the fridge last night and got to eat as many tomatoes as I wanted. Mom is contemplating putting a latch on the new fridge like she had the old one.

Hey I'm at my summer weight 15 pounds. Well it was 15.5 but I figure the .5 falls into the margin of error ;)

July 30th
(Pua's mommy) Ori is a spoiled pudgy bully. Aurora wanted to eat but she would come to the bowl and lick and get in the way every time. She didn't want to eat when Aurora left. I think she knows it bugs her mom. So played with her some then took her and carried her around the room till her mom was done. She's not scared now but occasionally hissed a complaint because she's spoiled and didn't want to be held. Over all she was good with it. She even squirmed up and licked my ear but then tried to get down, trying to sweet talk me maybe.

I'm sleeping late tonight but last night Aurora visited. She went on the tower and I tried getting in the hammock to share but she left. She came back later to sleep for a bit in the hammock. Ori was running around on her own and went behind my washer. I tried joining her but she didn't want me too.

July 31st
Aurora and Ori under the desk

Aurora wants to play
So Ori ran away.

I was sleeping in the hammock and Aurora came to visit me. I hung out of the hammock and started playing with her. She growled but I figured it was a play growl. She moved away so I got out and followed her and tried to play some more. She finally stood up and boxed with me. She looked confused by my moves and saw the empty hammock so climbed in.

So I climbed in with her. She growled but I hugged my tail around her to cheer her up and sat ready to play if wanted. We shared for a bit but then she got out and sat on the platform moping.

So I came over and climbed on top of her and gave her a big bear hug and said I love her and declared her my new mommy. She growled but I know she was just sharing her frustrations on having a bad day. Not sure why she tried to paw me off though. I figured a ear cleaning would help cheer her up but she lowered her head so I gave up and left her to her bad mood and back into the hammock.

Mom gave her some food so I wanted a treat. Aurora leaned up and tried to share the cheese cup but couldn't so left her bowl in disgust and mom offered her a treat cup too but she was all sour grapes and said too little to late and wouldn't take it and left. She went and ate food on her shelf instead.

Pua grooms Aurora

You're my new mommy

Pua climbed up on Aurora. Aurora tried to pull her off by grabbing her hands but Pua was insistent.

I love you

Sharing the hammock

Sort of. Aurora didn't really want Pua in there with her but Pua didn't get the hint.
