The Mighty Boo!
Tiny Miss Boo! has really shaken up the household. Like most little sisters with big brothers, she is well protected. It's a good thing, too, because she gets herself into quite a few messes. Every day is an adventure to her and her tiny stature means nothing. In her mind, she is a mountain lion.
And smart! That girl is way smarter than I, which brings quite a few challenges. Boo! is one step ahead of me in everything. She has learned to anticipate my movements. That means I have to constantly change things up. For example, she has figured out my pattern in going into the forbidden bedroom. Even if I had eight arms, I couldn't stop her when she is determined to go into that room.
My method to get her out no longer works. I was using a feather toy to lure her out then catch her. Well, she figured that out and runs for the toy then dives back under the bed. Dash never figured out we use the feather toy to catch him. He falls for it every time. Not his little sister. She is way too smart to be outfoxed by a human.
Boo! also knows that if she follows me into the bathroom, she needs to follow me back out or she will be stuck in there. Nobody else gets that. I searched the house - in and out - for Finn the other night only to find him shut in a dark bathroom. He didn't even realize what was going on.
Yesterday there was a handyman here and Boo! drove him crazy. First of all, when he removed the screen from the fireplace to check it out, she quickly tried to "help" him by going into the fireplace herself. Then she kept attacking his tape measure. I know she thought he came here for the express purpose of playing with her. I mean, why does any human exist except to take care of or play with Miss Boo!
At the moment, she is lounging on the porch swing, most likely wishing someone would bring her a treat. She is an Aby after all, and they must be adored.
