namkhang and the toilet paper

Every morning at 6 she does the same thing. She goes to the bathroom door, sits there and stares at me until I open it. Then she walks in, grabs the end of the toilet roll with her teeth and pulls it across the whole floor, and then sits in the middle of it like she won something.

I tried everything. I closed the door, put the roll in the cabinet, bought the big roll that is too heavy for her. She just learned to open the cabinet with her nose. Last Tuesday she dragged the whole thing into the living room and I found it under the sofa, half wet.

My mom says it is because she is spoiled. Maybe. She is 10 now and I think she just likes the crinkle sound. Namkhang also has this thing with the rain. When it starts to pour she runs to the balcony door and barks at it like the rain is a stranger. The guard downstairs once heard her from the lift and asked if somebody was fighting upstairs.

Last weekend I came home from the market in Saphan Sung and she was waiting at the door with a sock in her mouth. Not mine, not even the same color. It was a sock from the laundry basket that had been there since Monday. I do not know where she found it but she was so proud, tail going like a fan.

I still have not figured out how to stop the toilet paper thing. Thinking about giving her a small roll of her own, maybe she will be happy with it. The vet said it is not harmful, just untidy.
