Begin Entry Day 809 This morning the Smaller Beast awoke before the Larger Beast. He spent a happy hour interacting with the Female Handler in the quiet sanctuary of the Handler’s sleeping quarters. Once the Larger Beast awoke, activities were moved to the primary living quarters after both Beasts were fed their morning meal. The Larger Beast has shown a sudden interest in the activity known as ‘reading’, much to the joy and chagrin of the Handlers. Almost every activity is now interrupted with pleas of ”Mama read book please!” Mama is what the Larger Beast refers to the Female Handler as. While the Female Handler personally enjoys reading a good book and is pleased to see this trait continue in her Beast charge, it is also challenging to be required to give repeated renditions of “Good Night San Francisco” each day. But at least the Larger Beast appears to be learning appropriate behaviors for polite company. The Smaller Beast is only interested in a book if he is given the opportunity to grab the pages or chew on it as well as be read to. Today he took a prime opportunity to spread poop in an explosive manner right out of his diaper after the Female Handler changed his diaper and did not put pants back on over his onesie before driving home. This appears to be a skill small Beasts master at an early age. The Male Handler made the Female Handler clean up the damage while he dealt with the actual Beast. End Entry ###
