Mr. Mom is a movie that stays with you. Remember Kenny and his woobie? That beat up old blanket he carried around?
Every one needs a woobie. Every one of our five cats have their own distinct woobies. That one toy, bed, or blanket that they uniquely love. It's their "happy place". The one thing that can bring instant emotional relief.
One of the most notable, and longest standing woobies in the house is the yellow rain jacket. It's Rudy's woobie. He loves this thing. If he's seen it recently, hung up to dry, he'll sit in front of it, staring up and cry. You lay it out on the ground and he'll jump around, loving the sound of his paws on the slick material. That inevitably leads to Rudy chasing his tail. And eventually, he tires out and falls asleep on his woobie.
If Rudy has been moping around the house, all I need to do is grab his woobie out of the closet (maybe he hasn't seen it in action for a while) and lay it on the ground. He'll come running...that excitement back in his step.
Know your pet's woobie and use them to ease stressful situations. From moving day to a trip to the vet. A woobie can make all the difference.
I'm sure you read about my bedtime woobie....the stuffed dog my husband gave me when we first started dating. His name is B.O. Doggy. The abbreviation means just what you think it means. I shove him right up under my arm when I sleep at night. My loving husband gave him the name. I promise, B.O. Doggy is not stinky like his name suggests.
