Gus is a notorious little (ok, not so little) yarn thief, and he's sneaky and he's quick. I'm trying to work on a new crochet pattern design today, and I have my little tub of yarn close by.
Bored Gus + Tub Of Yarn = TROUBLE.
*I'm working and not paying attention to him, so he decides he wants the yarn, and jumps up, grabs a ball of yarn and takes off running with it. And of course, I have to chase him to get it back, because he can't be allowed to play with yarn for his own safety. And of course he runs to the basement, his favorite place to be chased. And since he loves to be chased, I humor him and chase him around the basement for a bit, finally retrieve the ball of yarn, put it back in the tub and get back to work*.
And just like in a crochet pattern: repeat from * to * (at least) 6 times!
FINALLY, after about the 6th time chasing him to the basement, I clue in that this has turned into a game for him, and I've been playing right into his little paws.
Score today: Gus = 1, Doni = 0
