bored

Here is my list of things to do when you are bored-

1. chew tassels off the afghan. My life score so far is two.
2. play "revolving door" with the humans. Get them to let you outside and then inside every few minutes.
3. sniff out the soup bone and see if you can fish out anymore marrow with your tongue.
4. count the cars that drive past the window, "One, two, one, two, one, two"
5. send vibes to grandma for another play day at her house
6. send vibes to Howie to come by for another visit
7. antagonize the cat, eat his food and drool in his water bowl
8. take a nap and dream of a new season
9. crawl under the furniture and get covered with dust balls
10. And my new favorite fun thing to do when I'm bored- look for bugs! If you get lucky enough to sniff out a spider or an ant, show restraint. Do not eat it right off the bat. If you do, you will deny yourself several minutes of fun. First, pick it up gently with your lips and move it to the centre of the livingroom. This way there is no fast escape for it. Then as it crawls around you can "lick it and flick it". It's fun to see where that bug will wind up when it falls off your tongue. Pouncing is fun, too. You can pretend you don't notice the bug as it tries to crawl away, then "Cowabunga!", you pounce on it, for some more lick and flick fun. If you place your body in front of the escaping bug, it will crawl into your fur and you can spend some enjoyable time trying to find it and get it out. Once you tire of this bug play, there is the bonus of having a little snack. Don't knock it until you try it.

Let me know if you have any good boredom busters, especially ones that involve snacks.
