Scruffs & the Toilet Roll

From Lori:
So this is a cute story that I had to tell you about. As you know, I am nocturnal and now so is the Scruffster. (Oops, my bad!) Roger has to find unique ways to get us both out of bed at 7am on those few unfortunate mornings that I start work early. Neither of us is cooperative, of course, and we vehemently protest every time!
This morning, however, Roger came up with an ingenious idea. Now, I will give you both some of the credit because it was yesterday's conversation that likely planted the seed. He said, "Scruffy if you get up there is a treat waiting for you in the bathroom." Unable to resist, I said, "Really? What did u do?" He said, "Go and see." Well, curious as a cat, I jumped out of bed and ran to see what it was. I was so excited when I saw it, I said, "Scruffy, Scruffy, Scruffy! Come see the treat Poppa left you." Of course, Scruffs gets all excited at the word treat and also jumps out of bed to come collect. He ran straight to the empty toilet paper roll in the middle of the floor and snatched it up like a puppy in a pet food store. Mission accomplished right? But guess where he took it? Right back to bed! Hehehe, smart boy! He takes after his Momma Bear :)
This is a bad photo, but he wouldn't hold still for all his excitement!
