Around midnight I was awoken by a noise I didn't recognize - in my closet. "Oh, no," I thought... "please don't let it be a bat!!!" It wasn't. Instead, it was a little someone trying to dig to China through my carpet! Out comes Z... very, VERY out of sorts. It was then I heard fireworks/firecrackers, far off in the distance.
Stephen had told me that Zoli didn't like fireworks, I just didn't know to what extent. I tried to calm Z down by talking calmly to him, petting him, etc. Nothing! I tried to cajole him onto my bed. Nothing! I tried to get him to look at me...move... twitch...anything! Nothing! Seriously, he was as still and focused and scared as I've ever seen him. His tail, which is ALWAYS up and wagging, was tucked under and he was still as a statue. Poor little thing!
Eventually, after the midnight celebrations had stopped he was able to lie down, right next to my bed, on the floor. When we woke up this morning he was hunkered down in the closet. Luckily (for him!), there was no more digging - China (and my carpet)is safe... for now! I can hardly wait for the WEBN Labor Day fireworks!!!
