... I've been trying to get the little boy to take a bath...seems he doesn't groove too much about the idea :rolleyes:

As I have mentioned before,he is curious of the kitchen sink,always jumping in when I'm washing dishes. I have in the past had him in the sink with the luke warm water at a trickle,then run the water onto my hand and sprinkle the droplets onto him. He will run around,trying to jump out < the basin is too deep for him to do that> and he STILL can't fly <thank God lol>
So today I tried again..this time I put the plug into the drain,and let the water fill to just above his ankles..he tried to escape once more,then stopped..took a swig of the water,and all of a sudden just DOVE in! Flappin' his arms wildly..dunking his little yellow face and head and just splashing away :grey: :D..seems he enjoyed it that way,but only for a few minutes. I guess next bath time I will try it the same way.

He's camera shy Juliet :rolleyes: I,ve been trying to get one of his whistling and talking <he is doing both very well..I'm proud of the little boy> but as soon as he see's the camera,he clams right up lol.

I know what you mean LOL

... because Coconut is too shy to ever sing to me. He will ONLY sing to himself looking in the mirror or to Rascal but NEVER sings to me. He just ends up sitting there dead silent with strange look on his face. Rascal sings to me... but not 'Nut!

Good job BB! Just getting started on the bathing adventures with Nacho and he's starting off much like Dusty. Not very into it, I'd say (shower video on my post in the quaker forum). Maybe he'll come around in a while.

Wade, hows little Nacho getting along?? I'd love to see some more pics of the cute little dude.

No news on The Dusty Dude huh? :( Geez my heart is still achin' over that. IF you don't get the little booger back,I hope and pray at least he has found a safe place to call home :31:

C'mon home Dusty!!!
