Friday night I was exhausted, worked an extra hour and a half each night. May not sound like much, but when a good portion of your job is physical, at the end of the day you are worn out.
I really didn't want to clean cages, but knew I had to. So I went in the bunny room, got things ready and Daisy was banging on her cage door to be let out. I let Daisy out and let her explore, watched her do some binkies and give her some pets. Somewhere during this process I fell asleep, Daisy came by to check on me and would nudge my hand for some pets. I would pet her and think I need to get up and clean cages, that would be as far as it would get and I would be out.
After a while Daisy wasn't pleased with my pets as she started to gently nip my hand until it was in the right spot she wanted petted or scratched. Oh this didn't go on for too long only a 2-3 hours. Daisy was definitely enjoying this as one time I was petting her she stretched out.
Finally, I got up and cleaned cages, fed and refilled water bottles.
This afternoon, I wanted to get the cages cleaned before the USA and Canada hockey game. I thought ok the usual hour or so to clean cages and put everything away. Carmels cage was a disaster, soI had to take out everything and vacuum his carpet, change litter. Got over to Pudge's cage and hers was the only one I had expected to give a thorough cleaning. Miss Pudge had turned over her litter box and pulled all the hay out of the hay basket and spread it all over her cage. So same thing got everything out, finally hers is cleaned. I go to clean Velvets and noticed hers needs a to have a in-depth cleaning. So now Pudge, Carmel and Velvets cage are extra clean.
While typing this and talking to my wife, I just realized that I spent so much time on Carmels cage I forget to change the litter in Titans.
