Inara last logged in February 11, I don't know what happened to her but I hope she and HRH is doing fine, maybe life just got too busy to post, maybe she will make a return.

Thanks! It's nice to have someone else around who remembers our passed friend, too. He of course still mimics her, so it's a bit like having a bit of her voice left. Willy is of course his own person, but having him back in my life has been a comfort after losing my friend.

Anyone know? She used to post some pretty entertaining stories of her grey Inara (HRH).

🙄 As some of you already know and as some may find out, as our Greys grow older, they sometimes do 180s....Joe, is eating food now that he refused to for years. Yesterday, he ate cooked broccoli and carrot tops. He has always loved hard boiled eggs but now has refused to eat them, looking at me like I am offering him some cyanide...Yesterday, I gave him green beans but I forgot, he will not eat green beans on Sundays, only on Tuesdays and Saturdays...🙄😝 They also respond to new comments and situations around the house. When Jay stands up, Joe makes a "Raspberry" sound (that's embarrassing)😜....Since day 1, Jay has told Joe "Papa loves Joe!" The other day, Joe yelled out "PoppO!" and then laughed.😝...he will still say "Papa, I love you" but more often than not, goes with "PoppO".... Joe also comes up with extraordinary comments to situations around him as if he fully understands and has a comment about it....Yesterday evening, all was quiet in the house except for the nightly news in the background. Jay was on the computer, I was doing dishes, and Joe was standing by the window watching the beautiful sunset. When the business news was announced, commenting on the major drop in the stock market, Joe perked up, stretched his neck, and said "HUH???"....🤣It was so classic and too funny....as if he knew....

Joe is worried about his 401K...

No, I've wondered myself.

Generally, when people find horses unintelligent it's a translation/communication issue. The ungulate brain developed and acts differently than most brains we humans learn to deal with, and their communication is 97% body language, so can be hard to miss or easy to misinterepret. I've spent 30 years with horses, and 20 doing rescue. I find their logic unparralled and their instincts unmatched. That mare I referred to was hands down the most intelligent and well rounded being I've ever come across, humans included (not that they're hard to outshine).

After hearing comments from some of our newest members that they were surprised that this place doesn't treat them like NEWBIES, I wanted to tell everyone that is thinking of joining that the word NEWBIE doesn't exist here. EVERYONE that joins this site is treated with the same respect and love as members that have been here for years.. Enough Said.. Now join up and start having some real fun... :P CD<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/08/19 20:26
