Favorite Galen conversation from last night:
"How fast is his learning curve?"
"He's half Siamese."

Sigh. Maybe we need to install toddler/earthquake-proofing bits.

I thought about installing those in the place we were in, in Richmond. Zootie is about that smart. The current place has doors with springs in the hinges, so it's much harder for him. He KNOWS the Toilet Paper (his natural prey) is in there, but he just can't get the door open. Heh. We may have to do something in the new place, but we'll see. (I hate seeing a dead roll of toilet paper scattered all over the house ... it's so sad!)
