Sienna (was going to be Sierra) is my 'Feisty' 2006 Jungle 66% Sharp. I was warned about her on the phone, in e-mails & at the show. There was talk of hooks and gloves. She was fine though, tense with a bit of stink eye, but what do you expect shows are stressful for them.Besides, I like a challenge and she's frigging gorgeous! Get her home, still fine.
Check on her the next day, unlatched one side of the Q tub -
Game On! - before I can get the other side she's busting out like greased lightening. I don't know how I didn't get tagged. I grabbed her mid body, she swung around at me, I whipped a towel over her & somehow managed kick the tub back upright & got her wildly flailing self back into it. As I crouched there, both arms leaning on the lid looking down at her glaring up at me, I suddenly realized her tub was a soppy wet mess. I had to fix it.
There was much more flailing and cursing, it was um, fun - yeah that's the word.
We've made progress since then, but never once (except on feeding days oddly enough) has our interaction ended without her skitzing out and trying to tag me. Until bath time today
(Which would be yesterday already for most people)
She did freak out when I first put her in the water, which is how she wound up on the window ledge. I had her out for over an hour though and she didn't try for me once! I even got to pet her chin!! I have no idea why, but I think it's just the coolest when I get to pet their chins.
I got proof too! Didn't even soak the camera.
On the Window
My Toes Not being chewed on
Pulling her off the faucets & Not Getting tagged
Didn't get tagged for putting the lighter by her
Close to her face w/ My face surviving intact
One of her pretty stripes & she didn't get me from above
I'm so happy!
Watch her get me tomorrow.... this was all probably just a dirty boa trick to try & get me to let my guard down.
