Ernie took a shower last night

Ernie took a shower last night for the first time.

 

I have been spraying him for the past few months with Aloe Vera and he is now used to it and enjoys it.

 

Last night I decided to take him to the shower room instead of putting him back into his cage and let him sit on the side while i took a shower. I knew from before that he hates the shower hose, so i didnt even bother to move him closer.

 

As i was taking a shower i noticed him moving closer where he could feel the spray. He seemed to be enjoying it. Suddenly he just looked at me and stuck his foot out (signals he wants to step up)

 

I reached down and picked him up and he just stuck his whole body under the shower and started washing himself. I was amazed. He was soaked to the skin and loved it.

 

Im still in shock:laugh:

Well congrats on Ernie finally taking the plunge to get in the shower spray, wow if they all could be this easy then the rest of us would have it made. I guess he just had to be in the mood so to speak.

 

Thanks for sharing your heartwarming story with us.

To celebrate his achievement I bought Ernie a ring stacker toy where he can remove and replace the rings. He loves it :lol:

 

My wife thinks im crazy for making a fuss but i caught her last night secretly praising him about how much of a great little boy he is for going into the shower
