Janfromboone Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 My husband and I went scuba diving in Bonaire and just returned. The last day before leaving I decided I didn't want to leave, but of course at that point I had to go. I had visions of Tobie with all of his feathers plucked out, or lying dead in his cage when I returned. Every time I added a last minute item to my suitcase Tobie would say "What's that for?". Tobie was definitely aware of my anxious state of mind. He used one of my expressions of frustration -- "OOOOH WELLL!!!"-- and I've never heard him say that before. He's heard me say that if I can't find my car keys or my glasses etc. Well I'm back and Tobie is just fine. I'll try to share a picture of our trip.

lovemyGreys Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yes i think leaving our greys tends to give us more stress than it does them Im glad Tobie is ok & you had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairymyst78 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What a great picture!! Have you ever gone scuba diving on the great barrier reef? When I was a kid my parents took me snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, and it was like nothing I could ever imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzzique Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Welcome back! Sounds like you had fun! We took a vacation the first part of July. We were gone for 2 weeks. I was so stressed about leaving Alex. I knew he would be fine. But it didn't make it any easier to leave him. He stayed with my oldest daughter and her partner. I cryed when we left her appartment. I ended up calling every night for the first week. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 thanks for your response. No I've never been to the great barrier reef. Australia in general and especially the diving would be a dream vacation for me. How wonderful to snorkle it. I assume you also got to see the kangaroos and other unique australian animals. We've only been to various islands in the carribean. Bonaire is our favorite and we've been there several times. Tried to send another picture but couldn't sorry.

Janfromboone Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Know what you mean about the stress of leaving them. I have dogs too, but they are used to us leaving. Or at least I thought so. Tobie learned to whine like a crying dog while we were gone. It's his favorite sound now. I guess the dogs cried all day while we were gone. What can you do.

judygram Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I guess you will have to stay at home:laugh: but Tobie will soon tire of these whining sounds if you ignore it when he does it, I know that is hard to do but sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better.:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Nice photo and it's good to hear all went well. Now, not only will your Dogs whine when you leave, so will Tobie. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
