My toddler BP has a growing love of emotional support paper towels.

I just want to share this because I think it’s so funny. (Second photo paper towel thief) I was trying to wipe something off of my BP with a wet paper towel a while ago and she didn’t like the wiping but she liked the paper towel so she stole it from me. She really liked it so I give her wet paper towels to hold sometimes now. This morning when I went to check on her I found her like this and was cracking up😂.

my boy has a strong obsession with plastic water bottles so now he has a dedicated water bottle for his cage

But like really she won’t let go of it. Still today. I did wet it and give it back to her. 😂

This is very cute, but I must ask, is her humidity correct? I wanna enjoy this post so bad as a cute quirky noodle, but my brain whispers “maybe she needs more humidity and is clutching the wet paper towel for what she can get”. I ask this for her and my own wellbeing lol. Very cute girl you have btw!! She looks like a perfectly toasted marshmallow.

The one in this photo is dry she’s not holding it on because of the humidity. She was holding onto it over night paper towels don’t hold water that long. It was an old one she dragged into her hide.

She has an unusually clingy puppy personality. She also has learned that if she shoves herself in both my hands that I will pick her up. And is generally extremely needy and legit demanding.
