It's been a very interesting week for Six Toes. He's never been through spring before, being born in the summer, so everything is new to him. In Michigan we've had a lot of rain...a whole lot of rain. And melting snow. And thunderstorms. Normally the rain would mean nothing to Six Toes...except his basement suddenly had water creeping across the floor. He seemed rather puzzled at this event and climbed up to a high perch on a shelf to look over the situation. His master did all sorts of interesting things: vacuuming up the water (he did NOT like the sound!), picked up and threw out damaged things, build a platform for the litterboxes (that was REALLY interesting for him, he got his nose as close to the drill as possible) and hauled water upstairs to throw outdoors.
On a very windy evening, we had a loud thunderstorm. Six Toes was determined to see what was making all that racket and kept looking outside. He wasn't scared at all. He just wanted to figure out what was making the noise that was disrupting his night-time stroll!
One afternoon, he got a real treat. He's always loved to look at snow falling and was just beside himself at seeing hail bouncing off the front deck. The sound fascinated him. After it finished (it was smaller than a pea), I went outdoors and got him some to look at. He didn't know what to make of it. It was cold, like ice cubes, but very small. Finally after pawing it and sniffing it he ate some.
So far, Six Toes is finding spring pretty darn exciting!
