: iZ stomped all over the upstairs today, destroyed his room and some of mine (it's ig0friendly tho so no big deal) ... i carried his supper up to him and he took a flying leap at me + landed in the plate of salad which went *everywhere* and he landed on the floor at my feet ... *sigh* ... i was dressed for the occasion tho with shoes, jeans + sweatshirt (talk about sweating! i 'bout fell over from heat) ... but y'all will be proud of me, i didn't scream, shreak or run! i bent down + picked him up + carried him at arms length down to the tub + plopped him in the water ... he stood there + glared, postured, bobbed + was considering leaping til i told him in a very firm voice "Dragon, Go Bathroom!" ... the change in his expression was funny + quite interesting! the glazed look momentarily left his eyes and it was like i could hear him thinking 'oh yeah, time to poop!' ... so he pooped and then resumed the let's-attack-humommy-and-rip-her-to-shreds stance ...
: it's weird ... he'll let me pick him up (head pointing *away* from me!) and not squirm or try to 'get me', but the second he's out of my very firm grip and up on his shelf, he's ready to lunge for me again ...
: am still semi-considering wearing triple layers of clothes and letting him have his way with me ... if i thought there was a chance it'd work, i'd do it ... *sigh*
: am very seriously considering estrogen cream on his big green head to balance out the testoserone overload ... he seems extremely unhappy ... i know i am ...
