The Beach: Day 3, Tuesday

I didn't have internet while I was away, so I wrote everything on paper (le gasp!) to record onto my blog later. I was glad I wrote everything down, otherwise I may forget all of the wonderful details each day had.

Day 3, Tuesday

I found out that I can fit under a door!
I found this out after Rudyard got in big trouble with Mommy and he lost his collar inside the couch. Now nobody is allowed inside the couch, so I have to find new places for my toys. After Rudyard lost his collar, Mommy took mine and put it on him. She said, You can hear Jack. Rudyard can't. I need to know where he is.

So I didn't have my collar on anymore, which is a relief because sometimes I just hate it. And we were all in the second bedroom together, me Rudyard, Mommy, and my Sam. We were playing super hard and Rudyard was whomping me  good--he's a very good whomper. Probably better than my Sam. Some ferrets at the shelter were also good whompers, but Rudyard is very smart. He grabs my ear with his teeth then tugs until I flip over. When I cry, he doesn't let go. He just shakes me harder. One day I will be very smart, but right not he is too fast for me.

As I ran around on the floor in the other bedroom, I noticed a big gap under the door. I tried different parts, but only the part at the end of the door was the widest. I slipped right through! It was so cool. But I realized that nobody was with me on the other side of the door and I was alone in the house. I stuck my head under the door, hoping that I would get followed. Mommy and my Sam wanted Rudyard to try it, but he kept getting caught on the collar! So if I wore the collar I probably couldn't have gotten through, because Rudyard is much smaller than me.

So Mommy and my Sam did something super awesome! Mommy left the room and closed the door behind her, so when I crawled under it I wouldn't be alone. It was very exciting. And then, right after me, Rudyard came under without his collar on. My Sam had taken his collar off so he could play and have fun too. I could tell Rudyard was also excited.

After that, Mommy and my Sam let us wander by ourselves for a little bit. We weren't allowed in the living room with the couch, but we were allowed to explore three bedrooms, three closets (although one Mommy decided was a bad idea because of the big painting we tried to dig through), and a bathroom with a tub.
