Laundry day again; I took up the load of whites I did yesterday to fold and put away. Raven helped.
First he rode upstairs in the laundry hamper. Then, when I tipped it to dump everything onto the guestroom bed, he twisted, turned, and dug down under so he ended up upside down on the bed covered in laundry (so I rubbed his tummy). When I eventually uncovered him by removing socks and undies, he crawled back into the hamper (which lay on its side), dug behind the clothing still on the bottom, and made a nice place to lie. So I draped a t-shirt over the open end of the hamper and we played "bear in a cave" for a while.
After a while, I left the room to put some things away. Just as I was coming back, he started out of the cave to come look for me. But he saw me coming back into the room and turned and scooted back into the cave for some more game.
Eventually, we finished playing that game and he came out, so I dumped the rest of the clothes out onto the bed to sort and fold and put the hamper on the floor... where Raven promptly hopped in and settled onto the bottom because this was now a different place (topology is everything).
It took another 20 minutes to get the last two t-shirts folded and put away as Bebop kept deciding to press one or the other or both. At one point, Bebop was lying on one t-shrt, happily covered by another, not letting me have either, when Raven decided it might be fun to sneak up on Bebop. Bebop gave him a look that said "No, it wouldn't". So Raven just walked on the t-shirts (mostly the one on top of Bebop ;-) and then bounded off to find something else to do.
