Linda just got this photo in an email from Paul Walker. It looks like Chimmie really did a number on his toys and bed this time. He also got spooked by the dryer in the kitchen. A zipper was clanging away inside the dryer and it scared him so much that he won't go into the kitchen or family room, even if Paul put a cookie on the floor. He also reported that Chim would not sleep on the floor at night and wanted to get in the big bed. Since Paul goes to bed at 2 or 3 a.m., Chimmie stayed up way past his normal bedtime. He has been napping on the deck for the last 4 hours (the entire time Linda wasted her time painting the trim.) Chim and Paul are best buddies. When Linda picked him up from his sleepover this morning, Chim ran back to Paul's side and would not leave with her. Since Paul is retired, he spends every waking second (and sleeping second too!) with Chimmie glued to his side. No wonder he would rather be there then stuck in a shower stall while Linda is teaching.
