Champ has skills, but they all suck.

Since saving Champ from doom in the fall of 2008, he has become quite acclaimated to the AK lounge. He has learned a bunch of cool things to do, none of which benefit me.

He can play "the sixth sense." this is when you walk into the kitchen and all of the cupboards are open. Observe:

He can also open all of my hall closets. He sticks his paw under the door and pulls it toward him. Champ can tell where the weakest point is and open it almost effortlessly.

He can steal money out of my purse. Champ loves money. It is crinkly. He also has a father figure who loves money. I think that Champ wants to be like him a little bit. The main difference I can't seem to articulate to Champ is that my man earns his own money. Champ doesn't even do chores and he feels entitled to mine. He sticks his paws in my purse to look for dollars that are sticking out of my purse. Then he puts them in his mouth and runs down the hall to hide them. Ridiculous.

Champ hasn't figured out how to iron, do dishes, or swiffer. I feel like this "skill set" he's picking up makes things both amusing and annoying. Here are a few more "skills" he's picked up:

Lamp climbing:

Drawer filling:

Table smashing:
