This can only mean one thing--
Poop Time!!
Ziggy did a 3-move maneuver-- spread food, splash water, poop painting.
Smaug had been saving up his poop for this very day and put it right in the middle so I had to change all the paper towels and not just one side/end.
Nubs splashed all his water out and soaked his paper towels. Then he scratched at them to tear them into pieces.
Because of this, cleaning day happens in at least two parts-- the main cleaning and the re-cleaning.
I jokingly tell my beardies "See, guys? This is why we can't have nice things!" Ha!
