I have to say it's less confusing and annoying than I remembered and it poops a lot less but it's just as hard. I recommend putting it on pause if you want to shower while he's awake. Mine was fine and had just been groomed/played with until I got behind the curtain and turned on the water whereupon she melodramatically started yelling at me and played a whole death scene at the sink while I struggled to wash it Shampoo. my hair. The stupid thing pooped and croaked at me again because I didn't wait for it to fall asleep before starting my own bedtime ritual. What a brat. i love this shop
