Day 241 - August 29

Mike got this exercise ball thing at Target on sale this weekend.  The pump that came with it blew it up pretty quickly, but made an odd squeaking noise with each pump.  This terrified the animal.  However, instead of running for cover like he usually does when he's scared of a noise, he stalked the ball from across the room.  (That slow, stalker walk and stare down that you see wild cats do on Animal Planet, etc.) He still can't get over this weird object that has come to inhabit his space.  I rolled it around the dining room, chasing him with it to see what he would do - and he refused to turn his back.  He just ran backwards to keep eye contact on the ball at all times.  Weird!!
