A Roll in the Night

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Bedtime is pretty routine in our household.  Riley goes out at around 11 pm and we all go to bed, he goes to his comfy one on the floor at the end of ours and we all go to sleep.  Usually I am woken around 7.30 with a lick or a tiny whine which means he wants to go out.  Last night was a little different.  At 5.30 am  Riley woke me, so I got up thinking he needed to go out and muttering to myself that I must lift his water earlier in the evening.  I usually follow him and he usually heads straight for the Patio doors but not last night.  He turned the other direction into the lounge where he brought me to his two favorite NON- toys , toilet rolls!  I have been teaching him 'leave it' for a long time and for the past few weeks whenever he has managed to get the toilet rolls from the bathroom when I say 'leave it' he immediately drops them and comes straight to me.  Last night he showed me that he had taken the rolls but had already dropped them.  They were totally intact unlike in the early weeks where the lounge looked like a snow storm within seconds.  So, I lifted the rolls, put them back in the bathroom and we both went back to bed.

Oh and in the morning I told my partner to PLEASE remember to close the bathroom door tight.

Ha!  He must have been so worried (it woke him out of his sleep) about what he had done and just had to wake you and tell you about it...sorry Mom, I ALMOST did something bad!  What a good little boy you are Riley!
