rugs

i've been humouring the folks for a while now by pretending to be daft, but finally it's time to come clean. it's no good them pretending any longer that the reason they put a rug down whenever we go anywhere is because they don't want me to get my clothes dirty, or to protect my hands and knees as i try to crawl, or to protect my face when the crawling isn't as successful as it might be.

no, the REAL reason they put a rug down is to hide the food underneath. we've been playing this game for a little while now. they put me down in the centre of the rug, knowing i can't reach the edge. when they're not looking i pull on the rug just in front of me, and the edge comes a bit closer. once i've done that a few times the edge is within reach and success is just an arms length away. they thought they'd successfully hidden some really tasty gravel, grass, clover, sand.... i've not managed to get my hands on a worm yet though
