No, I haven’t seen the movie, too many ‘old movies’ were just ‘harsh’n my mellow, MAN, I say it’s too shrill, too Piercing man, Too piercing man.
What Pvt Butterbutt showed me was he could smell the water was off. I had to check the water several times but he didn’t like the smell. He would yodel, “Naaaaow”, and turn his head from the fountain. It took about 12 tries removing the plume maker for the 8 separate little fountains draining back into the main bowl; cleaning those twice, cleaning the filter holder, and got a new filter, and finally putting new water into the bowl.
Each time to the last one, he would say the same yodel, and turn away, and he was thirsty I could tell. So by listening to Butter Butt, I would take away the petal that make the fountains, He would look interested but wouldn’t drink and would say “Naaaaow” and turn his head away. Finally I took everthing out and stopped the Pump. Again he was interested but he wasn’t. When I finished putting everything back together, and used fresh clean water, he sniffed it and then started drinking.
Thus I learned that he can smell (sometimes pretty badly — pun intended) and I learned that “Naaaaow” with a head turning away is ‘No, don’t like water”. Now if I can get him to actually speak. Naw, not going to the pet floor buttons. Not the speech therapy you might think. :)
And so I reach the closing of the regular and finish my “Home” work, dishes laundry, Feed the Cats, installed new, and cleaned old water filters, and seal the corners of the room with chalking ,then finish the painting with the colored paint (Blueberry Mist) for the final steps of the Sig others resting place.
Oh and yes, Pvt Butter Butt was repaired so that he is fixed. even though he didn’t think he was broke, know what I mean, know what I mean?
Not a bad day all in all. I just still want to ‘tell her” what a fun thing I discovered.
