Pryde

Your rottweiler is beautiful. Have you seen my boys on my profile? I have 2, Cain and Logan.

I just ordered one for Pryde. We don't really heat our house much and it gets cold, especially when no one is home and at night. I think she is going to appreciate it.

here we go...

Ewok... although I like the name Dot.

This is the one I got for overnight trips and going to work: http://www.greyexpectations.net/Supplies.html A lot like the dog crate, but it has a bottom to keep the bird from getting to the paper below.

My bird stayed with her breeder for 10 days while I was away. The breeder said she was talking up a storm and clearly saying "pretty bird" and "hi". Figures her first words would be while I'm away. I still haven't heard anything but the wolf whistle and kissing sounds

I make malt-o-meal most mornings and give Pryde her own little bowl of it as well. She goes gagga for it!

Pryde hatched on April 14, 2007 I brought her home August 1, 2007

I looked all over Home Depot, while I found a lot of the smaller to larger connectors, I couldn't find any that were that small to that large, but I will look again. Maybe I will try Lowe's next time.

Well, I have to admit that when I first brought her close to it, she leaned way back on my finger, then flew off. I brought her back and she leaned back again, but stayed put. She would crawl up my arm instead of stepping up on the pvc. This all took about 5 minutes before she was sitting on it. She finally just fell asleep. She did wake up and play with the toy a bit. I expect that she will be more than happy to hang out and play there within a few days. The computer was ok because Pryde didn't know how to climb down

Close, but I was hoping to find them without the mounting screw. It looks like, in the one I pictured, that it would connect directly to a pvc pipe or connector.

Without the food cups, which I still need to finish, it was about $30. I didn't use any glue, I'm to afraid of anything toxic. With the twine tucked in the ends the joints are really tight. I'm trying to decide if I want the twine the remaining connections, it looks prettier, but not necessarily functional.

Does anyone know where to find these cups without buying a whole item?

Really it is so easy everyone should do it. It is also a lot cheaper to do it yourself!

I do think it has to do with the volume of the house. If I am sitting quietly then the dogs and bird are usually quiet. If we have a loud movie going or if the dogs are playing and barking then Pryde usually joins in and starts trying to talk or whistle. She is making kissing noises now and the back half of the wolf whistle, but is only when the house is noisy. She also likes to practice noises in the car. Again I think it is due to the radio being on.
