HER FIRST STAYS WITH GRANNY



This summer I had to leave for a weekend to see my hubby (who was working in the Pirenees) and, since travelling makes Eirlys sick and it is colder in the Pirenees, we decided that the less traumatic thing for her would be to leave her at home and then have my in-laws coming to feed her and take her out of the terrarium for a while.
The first day everything was more or less okay, but the second day, she learnt that her 'granny' was putting her back in the terrarium for the whole night, so she bit her blouse and wouldn't let her go! In the end my mother-in-law managed to let herself go, but Eirlys went really angry and put everything upside down that night, so the poor woman had to clean everything the next day...
A week later I left for a whole week, and we decided that it would be better to leave the naughty thing loose the whole night -just as if I were home- and have my mother-in-law come in the evenings to take her out and in the mornings to put her back into her terrarium. The thing worked better, but it seems she didn't like her granny much because she told us that Eirlys wouldn't let her pet her, and what's funnier, she said that our baby sort of purred at her, which in fact is the sound she makes to intimidate her fiends... or her food.
Poor woman, she made all that sacrifice and the naughty girl wouldn't show her a single sign of gratitude...
