Pause The TV, I Gotta Watch This!

I've been meaning to post this. I'm finally going to before calling it a day. The other night there we sat on our couch as we watched something on TV. I heard Simon messing about. But he messes about frequently so I thought little of it. Next thing I know Brad is laughing as he loudly exclaims, "pause the TV, I gotta watch this". I look over to see our Simmie-Boo-Boo stuck in his little sister's pop-up cube. There's a pic of the pop-up cube at the bottom of this post, to help set a visual!

So here's what happened, as far as what we could assess. Piper nabbed one of the boy's rawhides. A frequent occurrence, she's a thief! She then placed it inside her pop-up cube. Her cube is quite big and has holes on a few sides, but it's made for feline body-types not pug body-types.  Simon is taller and basically when he leaned half of his body inside the cube to retrieve his rawhide the cube got stuck on his back. He's like a bull, he has an inability to be light on his feet! He wouldn't have been stuck if he had more feline tendencies. LOL!

There he was with half of his body inside the cube and half of his body outside. He looked kind of like Winnie the Pooh stuck in a honey tree. He moved to the right. He moved to the left. Nothing helped. Piper looked on as she was likely thinking, "well so much for my cube, he's going to destroy it". He then got too close to where Cody was, so Cody began to freak out a bit. Finally Simon decided to forget it. Likely thinking, "I don't need to grab the bone and go, I'll just lay down like this". That's what he did, he laid down half inside the cube and half out. However, it must not of been comfortable because he quickly had yet another idea to free himself....walk thru the cube! Ding, ding, ding....we have a winner. Don't stop and then try to back out of the cube. Just walk thru to the other side! That's what cats do. He couldn't quite get his body to perform the right maneuver to back out of the cube but walking through was his ticket out!

Oh man, we sat there watching the whole thing play out for quite a few minutes. Watching the different pet expressions to the issue was the best part to me. Cody has priceless expressions so often. He didn't disappoint. Piper looking on was cute, as she seemed
confused as to why Simon was having such a hard time inside her cube. As for Simon it was classic-Simmie. He gets himself into some interesting predicaments.
