So Tuesday was a day full of excitement. Two Wee Men came and spent most of the day doing Important Things inside and outside. Most of it outside.

For the most part, Harley was unimpressed by the Wee Men and their activity, maybe because he'd seen it all when the first Wee Man tested things out? Instead, he took full advantage of all the commotion to get extra Snacks of Placating, and almost unlimited attention from the humans in the house (that weren't Wee Men). The one chunk of time he was in his cage he took a bath, which — if you've been reading this blog for awhile — you will know hardly ever happens. Clearly, I'm going to have to invite the Wee Men over more often!

Even The Biggest Cardboard Box In The World didn't excite him. He just calmly ate his lunch, and then turned into Fussy McFussypants.


His favorite perch in our bedroom window didn't interest him, the guest room didn't interest him, even the Closet of Magical Things didn't interest him — he was tired of it by the time I brought the camera upstairs.

(Hm. Extra points if you can spot the underpants!)

The closet was probably boring because we put him there on his portable perch, instead of letting him explore things in the drawers like we did last time. You know, things like chewy, chewy shirts.


So he explored the bed for awhile, and chewed up our comforter instead.


(Apologies for these last two photos: apparently I'm incapable of taking decent pictures of textiles. That shirt is tan, and the blanket is a light green. Yes, really. Not even Photoshop could get the colors close to reality.)

Once we rescued the comforter, Harley deigned to sit with Bruce for a few minutes.


But, once he realized he couldn't reach any good drugs, he started fussing again.


Fussy, Fussy, Fussy McFussypants. I'm pretty sure he gained a few grams, with all the Snacks of Placating we ended up giving him. Finally, though, he settled in on his perch in the bedroom, content to watch the Wee Men's truck. Because you never know what a truck might do if it's left unwatched. After all.


The air conditioner is installed and the Wee Men tested it out, but wouldn't you know — the weather has been in the low to mid 70s since Tuesday so we haven't actually needed it on. Not that I'm complaining, we don't get weather like this in Michigan very often!
