Doug, Ellie is off to a good start! That is also the first phrase Biscotti learned. Once they start their brains are like little sponges & she will repeating the words she likes. Enjoy!

How wonderful that he is so comfortable with the harness! Wish I had started that early on with Biscotti. I believe you are doing his excursions right, short & sweet. He will quickly overcome the sudden scary things ( snapped branch ) when you quickly confirm to him that everything is ok. You must already have a great bond, with him instantly coming to you when he is frightened! Keep us posted on Archimedes adventures.

I just found out about pinterest, lots of cool stuff! I love the grey tattoo on your Noodle board, simple yet perfect. Want, want, want! Lol.

Thanks Life is Greyt! I went back & watched a few of the videos when he was younger & just learning to talk, wow he has really progressed! He talks so much clearer & with a lot of inflection in his voice now. Our greys are really amazing little creatures!

Katana, I'm glad you are enjoying him so much I wish you could hear him in person. He has so much more that he says. It is so nice to share him with all of you who love & appreciate your fids. I will try & get some videos of him talking outside of his cage, I will have to rig up a way to hide the camera because he will not leave it alone when he is out!

This is beautiful! Those parrots are having a blast. What a unique idea, dog parks have cropped up everywhere- why not parrot play dates!

So sad, sorry you had to witness this. Like judygram said some people are the lowest scumbags. Poor dog, at least the worker showed it some kindness in it's final moments.

Lol aerial, I think Biscotti likes to put his own swing on some words!

Thanks for updating us Life is Greyt! We really share the same philosophy on our non-human family members. We want to have them in our lives as long as it is possibly comfortable for them to be with us. I understand how it gets down to weeks, days & then hours. If you can keep them comfortably with you just that "one more day" it is a precious gift. We are still missing our senior canine family member Annie who has been gone a couple months now. Biscotti still calls for her everyday, "Annie, Annie it's ok". Kind of breaks my heart, but also kind of comforting too to know that he also must think about her. We still have 2 dogs, a puppy I got last summer & another senior, my 10 yr old rottie Mandy. Mandy had some GI issues a few weeks ago & it scared me to death. I don't think my heart could stand losing another baby so soon. I started cooking for her & her troubles have straightened out for now. She has already outlived all my previous rottie girls, so I know how precious our time together is. Hug your sweet Kirby for me. Once you have been blessed with an old dog in your life you can never look at a grey muzzle without a tug on your heart. At least not for me!

How is Kirby doing? For some reason she was on my mind today, had any luck with the chronic wound/infection? Hope she is doing well.

I think he will learn all the different tones of your voice, I am sure you have seen the videos of Dans grey Dayo- thats a deep voice! It may be a little harder for him to learn the deeper sounds but I'm sure he will be able to in time! I do just like you do with Issac with Biscotti, I tell what things are, what I'm doing etc.. He picks & chooses what he likes the sound of & wants to repeat. ( Including a few undesirables ) You are doing an awesome job with him- just be yourself!

Beautiful girl!! Thanks for sharing pics!

Same thing here! The wild birds have been chattering like crazy- trying to mate & build nests in the barn. The cattle have been quiet all winter & are now having their calves, so lots of cow contact calls going on! And we finally got some much needed rain, so I am waiting for the frog chorus to begin!! Gotta love spring.

Thank you all for the kind comments about my silly boy, he talks like that for hours! When he gets quiet I have to check & make sure he is ok! The really funny thing with him is he becomes mute when I have company- the only sounds he makes is farting & "pee yeww!" Well, that's Biscotti. You have to spend the night to hear him talk, I think that's just because he can't hold it any longer! I really love the little character. Katana, I think Gilberts appropriate comments are wonderful!! He is really paying attention to what is happening, & giving you his thoughts on the situation! You have made such wonderful progress with him & I love reading your posts!!

Happy Hatchday Sterling!! Wow, did that year go fast! You look charming in your new harness, what a lucky boy! Enjoy your day & many happy returns!

I'm glad you enjoyed hearing him katana, he is saying "I'm a red-bootyed jungle chicken!" His vocab is huge, right now he is telling the dog "I'm gonna put your collar on", then laughing really loud. He is just so funny- a little Robin Williams in feathers!

Thanks Life is Greyt! He loves to talk, I am amazed at the things he picks up.

Here is a video of 2yr old Biscotti this afternoon jabbering away. He never fails to make me laugh, such a joy to have in my life!

So sorry to hear this. Twixs' short life was filled with a tremendous amount of love. Thinking of you and your family.

Oh dear, poor sweet baby. I know how heartsick you must feel, please be strong for Twix- he will sense your fear & anxiety. Do get him in to the vet asap & keep us posted. We are all sending powerful prayers for strength & healing.

Congratulations on getting Grimm home!! I know the wait seems forever but now that he is home you are going to have so much fun! Enjoy!!

I love, love, love this!!! Wonderful- thanks for sharing!!

He is a real cutie!! Nice set up for him, he is one lucky birdy!!

Such a cutie! She looks so sweet bundled up in that towel!

What a cutie! She is a beautiful baby & obviously very loved.
