Monday Mischief: The Saga Continues

I've written several times about a cute little habit Wilson has...I'll wait while you get re-acquainted....

Here is the post where I introduced his little quirk:

Wilson's Odd Habit

Next was the story of his little rug in the upstairs office:

Wilson's Rug

And finally, I caught it on video, even making a Wordless Wednesday out of it!

Wilson's Wake-up Wiggle

Ok, so now that you've seen how silly Wilson can be, I have to tell you.....Wilson had his morning "happy roll" so many times, and often so vigorously, that he actually wore out that rug! Yes, he wore it out. It was one of those braided rugs, sewn into a circle with a round hooked center. The rug had been down for many years, over ten at the very least. All of Wilson's rolling loosened the stitching on the braids. I had sewn it several times, but there came a day where we found Wilson all caught up in the rug, waiting for rescue. Safety dictated that the rug must go. I worried Wilson would be sad without his rug, and not take to a replacement.You know how much dogs love a routine! It took a while to find just the right rug for the room, and I really had nothing to worry about.......He took to it like it had been there all along!

I've still got to grab the shots very quickly as he does not like this silly act caught on camera!

You're not trying to take my picture, are you?

The camera always ruins it for Wilson and he stops just as soon as he sees me. Even without a camera, just trying to have a peek, he will stop. I guess his rug dance is a very private affair!
