Gabriel, DON'T

[weaselmom]

Today's Gabriel, DON'T file:

Gabriel, don't hide your toys in the fireplace.
Gabriel, don't jump from the top of the cage onto the table where I store your treats.
Gabriel, don't run off with my new houseslippers.
Gabriel, don't bother the drywall patch.
Gabriel, don't chew on the lamp rheostat.
Gabriel, don't stroll around on top of the TV.

If you ask him, I never let him do *anything* fun.

It certainly doesn't sound like he has any fun. How's the house going?

I try to balance all the Gabriel DON'Ts by playing with him and giving him as much cuddling as he'll stand for. His very favorite game is to race around the room while I thwack a ratty old dishtowel at his butt. (Mind you, this is a very gentle thwacking, and I'm wildly inaccurate most of the time.) Later at night, when he gets tired, he comes over to me and wants to be picked up. I hold him while he snuggles in close and goes to sleep. Those are pretty good times.

The house. Hmph. I have a guy coming over in about 90 minutes to give me an estimate on some finish carpentry (baseboards and door casings). Until we get baseboards in, we can't complete the bedrooms, so it's got to be done.

Shawn comes home tonight after being back east all week. I'm looking forward to this. Any ETA on Neens?

LOL my ferret Link dug a hole through the bathroom drywall a few years back x_x That was a real annoying repair job!

OMG! What the heck did he think was on the other side??? Our patch is where a friend removed a counter and capped off the plumbing in the wall. I joked that they must have run out of joint compound and switched to Ferretone, because the weasels just would not leave it alone!
