Where I Am: The Living Room

What I’m Doing: Tucking Bowser in for the night

When we first got Bowser, he slept in the kitchen in a bed in a cage (with its door open). We didn’t want to give him free range in the house because of what he might do while we slept.

Like any parent, we eventually grew lazy and soft. We brought the bed out into the living room and let him roam as much as he wanted around that part of the house. We kept (and keep) the gate blocking off our hallway so he can’t come to our bedroom door to annoy us while we sleep.

As soon as he was strong enough to jump up on the couch on his own, he made it his new bed. The cage is gone now, donated to an animal shelter (or maybe we threw it out. I think we’ll stick with the nobler one) and so is the bed that was in it.

We’ve got two fuzzy red blankets and he makes a cocoon out of them for his bed.

I’m helping him along here.
