Frustration

My Mommy puts me in this contraption she calls a "bounce about". I know, sounds cool, doesn't it? Well, it is a misleading name because you don't bounce about - like bounce about the house.... You bounce in the same spot. I never move, except for up and down. It is very frustrating, especially when my dear family all leave the room. I have no way to chase after them. The worst part is that it has these hanging things. One will hold some of my toys, but I give them a good yank and pull them down with ease. That's right - I got skills! However, that leaves an annoying tie and another toy that hangs on that I have not been able to pull off yet. They are always swinging around right in my line of vision and they drive me crazy! I pull, and pull, and pull with all my might, and cannot break them loose. Drives me nuts! I have tried to shake the bar loose and break it free. I have tried to gnaw on it like a beaver and break it down. Nothing works - yet. But I will, I promise you, I will figure out how to break off the hanging toys.
