After much angst and argument, we have finally settled on 10 p.m. as Rocky's bedtime. However, like a human child, he has to argue some, and that often takes the form of pulling the cover off his cage, which is the Rocky equivalent of a child's "I'm thirsty! I have to go to the bathroom! I'm not TIRED."
Usually, I just go put it back on, maybe more than once, and we have to tell him three or four times that it's bedtime now. Last night, the stinker pulled off his cover and when it hit the floor, he said "Ta da!" I kid you not. LOL I couldn't help laughing, which is of course the WRONG thing to do, because now he'll think it's cute and he should do it all the time.
