Living with Anteaters

Feb 19th
11:53AM I hear the new washer is here so moved to my hammock. Grampa's not home yet to help move it in but I'm ready, so hurry.

3:47PM Hmm, the new washer sounds funny. I'm giving it a look from my hammock. I hope it will still be comfy.
I used to sleep with mom but Stewie showed me how to get in the washer and sometimes I'd join him. After he died I decided to sleep in there all the time. Aside from laundry day I don't get jostled by others on the bed and it's my own nice dark quiet room.

Giving dirty looks

Her old washer died so we got a new one. It makes new weird noises so she has been giving it dirty looks

Getting sleepy

4:48PM Was still concerned about the odd noises from the new washer but mom gave me some ants and I curled up after. I can sleep now.

5:52PM Fresh load fresh creepy sounds mom gave me some cheese. After finishing and thinking it over some more I have curled back up.

Giving dirty looks over cheese
Treats helps but she's still unsure of the new sounds from the new washer.

7PM Darn creepy washer sounds like it's laughing at me. Getting used to it though just sighed and curled back up.

10PM Woke from my nap. Was giving the washer dirty looks and noticed my toy sitting on the shelf, then staring at the washer more, maybe a treat again?

No, don't want blue cheese, ketchup, no thank you, ants! Yes, yum.

Still giving the washer dirty looks

10:15PM I'm a bit concerned about what might be going on in there.
I inspected my toy and decided to go back to sleep for now.

11:30PM Up for my ketchup. Not getting much sleep with the washer anyway.

11:40PM Tried laying my head over my toy but it's not such a good pillow so laying next to it.
Moping by her toy

11:53PM Got up and needed lots of snuggles and breath sniffs from mom. Smelling her calm breath made me happy and I played some then hugged her a lot. Now I'm with the others playing in the closet. I've not messed with that washer yet.

5:23AM I tried sleeping with mom but I was very jumpy and she is too lumpy. I heard that washer torturing animals and hissing all day. I kept starting at the others moving around. Mom took me over there but I was still nervous so she stuck me inside. I checked it out for a bit then mom opened the lid and I came out. Mom gave me ants for being brave but I was still a bit jumpy and wouldn't even touch the washer as I headed for the tower instead. Having an avocado to calm me down.

9:45AM I refused to go anywhere near that scary sounding washer. It sounded like it was torturing animals all day. I slept in my hammock. I wouldn't even go back down there to eat. I'm living off avocado. Mom wants to see how I feel after a quiet day but she's already thinking how to arrange her room to keep my old one. I need to just stay freaked out and I'll get to keep her. (yeah washer are hers cuz it's the males that blow hot hair;)

9:47AM It's a death trap that eats little animals. I'm sure of it.

12Pm Think they took pity on me. Room is being rearranged! Do I complain about the arrangement? My washer will be on the other side of my tower from before.

3PM I've now been dumped out of the hammock and placed in my old washer. I sniffed carefully in case it was a trick and sat half in half out. I noticed I'm on the wrong side of the tower and there is a weird ladder instead of the shelves, microwave and clothes basket set up. I'll figure that out later. With a clean blanket I let myself be placed inside. I think I can get used to this.

Moms note: We had to tear the old one apart to remove the pump so it'll be possible to clean it and have the water drain into a pan or that would become nasty. I think this arrangement will work though my TV is way across the room and I got a pile of displaced thing to figure out what to do with, not to mention laundry yet to put away.

12:32AM Woke to a mango right outside my door. I'm a happy Pua!

She was so upset she got it back and has a new wing on her castle

She hated the new washer so rearranged things to keep her old one and the new working one.

She was climbing all over the new castle set up.

Ori and Pua in the new dinning room

Checking out the hamper
I got it wedged in there but no one would try going on it, thinking it would fall over.(she used it the next night with a pee pad covering it).

Ori going down
She doesn't quite have the hand of this part yet

Ants
I lured Pua down just the supports with some ants but she wouldn't use it otherwise.

Ori coming down the pole

Ori comes to see what's for dinner

10AM I had my door open peeking out and Ori climbed in my washer with me. Yea, a guest.

10:07AM Having second thoughts. She's an active little thing.

10:09AM Oh good she left

Pua had it open peaking out and Ori slipped in and hung around awhile.


Mom tried the rubbermaid house. Ori had fun playing in and on it. But guess they didn't like their plastic house after all. Aurora slept in the closet. Ori played in it but wont settle in. Well, too bad for now the fabric one is being washed.

2PM Ori did settle down in the plastic house but she shoved all the bedding to the front to block the door. I had anticipated their wanting privacy and had draped fabric over the door but Ori had pulled that down earlier.

Well, Aurora slept in the closet third night in a row even though mom put the pee pad house back. Apparently the real reason is the new position of mom's bed. Guess she hasn't yet learned mom wont randomly pounce her. Maybe try the pee pad house in the closet then. Ori preferred the plastic house and is now sleeping in the hammock so plastic house can go back on the cage.

Me I am happy in my washer and like my new ladder though mom says I climb it like an awkward child. Oh and Darn Ori visited and was playing with my door and left it open but mom closed it when she got up.

After I put her on her ladder

Using it on her own
