Tigger Finally Gets It (and Gets Wet)!

So, our lady human has been trying to get us to do tricks for treats, using this thing called a clicker. She'd hold up her paw and say "I five". At first, we thought she was saying that's how many toes she has, and we would sit there and look at her, like "DUHHH!!! We know that already!" Then Gateway started touching her paw with his paw whenever she said "I five". Our lady would make a noise with the clicking thing and give him a treat. It took Tigger a bit longer to "get it", mainly because he has a hard time paying attention. Our lady human says it's because he has the attention span of a flea. Fleas ain't too big, so we're guessing that means Tigger has a small attention span.

So anyways, the other night, our lady was playing with the treats and the clicker thing, and an amazing thing happened! Tigger touched her paw with his when she said the "I five" thing, and he got a click and a treat! Then he did it again and again! She put up her paw, said "I five" and he touched her paw and got a treat for it!

Now here's the funny part! The other morning, our lady was in the bathtub place with the curtain, and Tigger decided to jump in and keep her company. Wrong move!!! It was raining in there, and Tigger got soaking wet! Once he realized it was wet in there, he tried to fly out, but he wasn't fast enough! His tail got wet. His head got wet. His paws got wet! When our lady got out of there she looked at him and laughed because she said he looked like a little boy who just had a bath. Then she tried to dry him off with one of those towel things, but he just thought it was a toy and tried to wrestle with it.

So it's been a pretty big eventful few days for Tigger!
