Play
I taught Audrey a new trick. Ordinarily guinea pigs are not too bright, but rat-butt can be pretty clever sometimes. This afternoon we played tug-o-war for fifteen minutes with the string on my hoodie, me tugging on one end and she yanking on the other with her teeth and making ferocious muffled “ooot-ooot-ooot!” sounds. I hadn’t thought that small, fat, spoiled, roly-poly rodents knew about playing games, but she seemed to think it was pretty fun to yank on my cord when I wasn’t looking and then run away.
Ah, the things that amuse me on rainy days.
