Do you have a favorite place in your house? Perhaps it is a comfortable chair in a quiet place with a good lamp, where you can read or think without interruption. Maybe you like the kitchen, with shiny new appliances and regular smells of nourishment and enjoyment. Or is your bedroom your favorite, with a down-covered bed, stacks of pillows, and a blackout curtains for hours of blissful sleep?
Charlie, now mobile for nearly a month, has learned his way around the main floor of our house and now has quickly discovered a favorite place: the short hall where the dog bowls are kept! Set Charlie down anywhere on the ground floor and walk away; it won't be long until you hear the splash of water in Coco's bowl, followed by sloshing as the water is dumped out, then clanging as the two metal bowls are picked up and clanged together. How fun!
Alas for Charlie, his parents aren't terribly fond of mopping up water from the same spot on the floor multiple times a day, so Coco's bowls have been moved farther down the hall, behind a door that can be closed to block them. Poor Coco has to time carefully her water breaks now, and Charlie is padding off across the floor in search of a new favorite place. I think I hear pages rustling in my library........
