A shelter for Smokey

Panda’s been wanting to create a little hideaway shelter for Smokey to use whenever she wants to get away from light and noise. She likes to go sit in our closets sometimes when the outside stuff gets to be too much. We decided to cut a hole into a cardboard box we have that she can crawl into. We put shredded packing paper on the bottom to make it more enticing and hopefully she’ll like it!

We used an old box and traced a circle where we’d cut a hole.

Smokey waited nearby in one of her many other boxes.

As the cutting began, she moved closer for a better view.

All done! Time to set it up.

She was hesitant to try it out.

We eventually convinced her to go in for a whirl.

But then she came right out. I guess we’ll see if she takes to it.
