how does he distinguish?
This is the question of the night: how does Wallace know the difference between wrapping (or putting something away) and unwrapping (or taking something out)?
I was wrapping up the remains of a loaf of bread. He did not stir in the slightest from his resting spot. I barely begin to unwrap the same loaf of bread, and he is up and trotting into the kitchen.
I put away a few things that were in the drying rack and he doesn't move. I take out the wrapped up sharpening stone and begin to unwrap it...and he's by my side, looking up hopefully. When he discovers that what I have in my hand is not edible, he sighs (yes, sighs), turns around, and then tries to make the kitchen rug into a bed for himself.
