there's something about rubber...

i love to chew on rubbery things. the "cool feet" for the laptop (exhibits 1 & 2), the tips of mommy's hemp sneakers (exhibit 3), the outside of power cords, and even the buttons off the remote controls. oh yes, one of daddy's favorites, we like to chew the buttons on any remote control (exhibits 4 & 5), whether it be a remote for the TV, DVR, PS3, stereo, cable...it matters not--we don't discriminate! we do, however, make certain that the buttons maintain their functionality; we're not barbarians, after all! mommy has a great sense of humor about the rubber stuff, especially the remotes; daddy, on the other paw, was soooooooo pissed the first time he saw the chewed up remote that i actually mistook him for a rabid 'coon! he was all foaming at the mouth and everything!! mommy tends to forget that we love the rubber buttons, 'cause she will still leave a remote on the floor every once in a while....yummy!

i guess we like plastic, too. mommy put down this green plastic mat that came with our play-pens (in our house they're just used as gates to keep us out of hard-to-reach places). i guess their purpose is to make for easier clean-up/protect floors, but we just chew on ours. it isn't as though our poop is messy. jeesh!!

mom's not sure if we just chew on these things or if we actually ingest, as i don't usually leave any residue of what i've chewed away... she's thinking there'd be some bits of rubber on the ground, but she doesn't find any.... i guess i must be eating it. well, i ain't dead yet, right?!

one of us chewed on the "cool feet" that keep the laptop elevated (exhibits 1 & 2)....

the hemp shoes....before they were chewed. mmmm, hemp! too bad i was only into the rubber.... (exhibit 3)

the remote exhibit...can you tell which buttons we chewed off?? mommy altered the photos to highlight the destruction; she also had to color the pause button with a Sharpie. (exhibits 4 & 5)

the longest four days ever

mommy and daddy went to uncle michael's wedding in california over last weekend. oh my gosh, i missed them so much! we are so lucky that auntie hez and unc chad volunteered (well, auntie hez volunteered) to let us camp out at her house--we had a very nice time. they have a cat, who actually left us alone. at first i was mad that mommy didn't forewarn me about boo boo, but maybe i would have been really scared for no reason... i don't think she even knew we were there. we didn't get much of a chance to run around like we do at home... we tried, but we were too nervous about the new surroundings, so chuy and i mostly stayed in our cage. that ended up being great because chuy and i were forced to bond even more than we had before. he is still a pain in the butt (and loves to follow my butt), but he's growing on me for sure.

unfortunately, i think the absence made chuy go back to being even more skittish. he will get close to mommy if that's where the food is, but he is still sent flying once she coughs. food goes everywhere, it's a hot mess. chuy is a hot mess. for reals...

tomorrow maybe i'll post some pictures and tell you about my motorboating!
