Okay, so I finally became convinced that I should give my bearie a bath. We put a little warm water in the sink and lower him in slowly since we weren't sure how he would respond... he just sat there, cool and collected as usual. Then when my husband moved his hand away, our lil guy plunged his head under the water!! Nose, eyes and ALL!!! So, I was like... okay... is he drowning!? Then his lungs started expanding and his head was STILL under the water!!... so I raised him up out of the water, getting more and more freaked out by the minute.... {'I just drowned this poor lil guy!! And I've only had him a little over 24 hours!! } then he openned his eyes and became alert again... so I put him back in...and he tried to swim around...even under the water! It baffled me!! After a few minutes, I took him out and he openned his mouth and puffed (bearded) at me a little, so I kinda freaked out and put him down on the counter. He then ran BACK into the sink!!! LOL Lil bugger didn't want to get out!!! Hahahaha!!! Amazing!! After a few more minutes, I drained the water first (so he knew it was gone-LOL) and grabbed a towel to get him out and put him back under his lamp. I am so shocked at his reaction!! He absolutely LOVED it!!! Next time will be in the bath tub and for a longer period of time. I'm falling head over heels in love with this lil guy!!! This is great!
