Frozen in place listening to the neighbors. Guess I'll just lay here then... Oh my! Barking dog! Too many creepy noises, back in the washer for a bit
Pua is nervous
Going to hide
Aurora is sleeping in her hut today. I tried my hammock for awhile but went back into my washer.
OMG awesome. Reminds me of Stewie. Think I'd make a nice first lady. There's a part 2 behind the scenes as well. The most shocking thing was the bath. I Mean he actually liked it!

Hanging out with Aurora in the hut
I'm just sleeping in my washer now. I had my treats and spent time with Aurora as usual and pooped in the bunny pen last night.
I like to let them drop from up high and the bunny pen is connected to the anteater cage, he uses it as we mostly just use the outside and roof so it's a nice high place to drop them from.
By request, Pua's Tail is 21.25 inches on the underside of her tail, measured from the dimple at the base of her tail. Aurora's tail is 22" long
"Long-tailed Tamandua (Tamandua longicaudata)[...] differs markedly from the others in coloration and in the structure of the nasals, but not in the length of the tail, as the name erroneously implies. It is nearly uniform straw-color," http://tinyurl.com/7zdla3m

Chasing Tail LETTER
HOME FROM ORI: Summer camp is "interesting." They keep crazy hours,
but I stick steady-fast to my late night routine. I got to met a "boy"
for a few hours. He is OK, nothing special, so I can't see what all the
fuss is about. If anything he is really annoying, always wanting to
play and I don't want to, so he goes and plays with Ta'Ma. Ta'Ma is
really nice, I like her alot. The boy IS
good for cuddling and taking naps with when he finally settles down. I
think I am loosing weight -- I think my belly isn't as "round" as it
was, but I haven't weighed myself either. These humans have been MAKING
me go outside for a little bit, but all I want to do is go back inside
and sleep. They also make me climb the ladder to get back inside after
they carry me outside. How simply rude! They say it's for my own good,
but I don't see how. I have not gotten to meet any new humans since I
went to school, but that's fine with me as it was during the daytime and
I'm not much of a day-girl. Well, snorts and grunts ~~Ori
Played with Aurora awhile last night and was up early begging for treats this morning.
Chasing Tail LETTER HOME FROM ORI:
"I know, I know, two letters in one week. The head camp counselor human is getting sneaky. She thought she caught the boy and I playing one morning, so she started tip-toeing up the stairs to spy on us. Sure enough, she has caught us hand-squeezing and playing chase. My secret is out, but in my defense, he is a very persistent little boy! Ta'Ma is having what they call "conjugal visits" with one of her husbands. He is older than us and more stoic. The boy and I just avoid the old man and go play on the platform way up high in the corner. I must admit, the boy and I have been being naughty and started picking at the wall way up there, nothing "bad" mind you. I couldn't believe the old-lady camp counselor could climb way up here! She is a really sly human. Camp counselor says she is taking me on a field trip this week to go play in what they call "the compound" for an hour. It's a large piece of forest and brush that was going to be for a Siberian Lynx, but never got used. They say it has lots and lots of brush, and logs, and stumps, and trees and "cat-platforms." It is all fenced in with no-climb tree guards so I cannot climb too high up a tree and fall. A human has to stay with me the whole time but I get to go free. The said there is going to be lots of noises and smells out there because there are wolves and siberian Lynx in another part of "the compound." Camp counselor says she will try and remember her Ipad so I can send home a photo of my field trip. I really really like summer-camp. Well, that's all love ~~Ori
Now back to me: Nice day for a run in the woods
2:45PM
I decided to take stroll in the woods instead of my usual run. Got lots of grooming to do now.
2:58PM
Still grooming so mom gave me some vinegar in the sink. Oh yeah vinegar bath, that's the ticket.
3:15
All done grooming and back in the washer

Aurora slept in the closet nest. Guess she likes that blanket so now her hut has been all freshened up for tonight.
