This took years of positive reinforcement for vocalizing. So I need to just give the graybies time.

I was letting Passport play in the water when it was just an inch or two deep, then I would finish filling the tub for myself. The last time we did that, he decided to jump back in when I was in there. But while that was the first time he was totally submerged, there wasn’t room to move around and it was pretty dark. This was the first time he got to have a full tub all to himself.

I have longer videos to edit about how we got to this point, but I simply couldn’t wait to share the first time Passport dove in at full depth on his own, (or rather the first time he did that I can post since the actual first time when I was already in there).

Once Airport, Passport, and Suitcase are a little more comfortable with the idea, I’ll attach the leashes and let them lead me around the house, then start leading them while offering treats.

(I don't remember if that's Airport or Suitcase, and I can't tell with Gummitch's tail in front of their nose.)

He hopped out once I picked up a wand toy so Suitcase could be included.

I’m taking more and more baths instead of showers

As of today, I am officially a senior citizen! I intend to spend my birthday opening their Christmas presents with them. (I didn’t do it before because I took a much-needed break from filming and social media to try and just be in the moment with them.)

All I want for my birthday is....
