An interesting Toy (for Savannah)

Funny enough another favorite is orange juice caps! We have smooth floors and those things glide like air hockey pucks and he just whacks them around the house!


Zeddie's is almond shells...she steals them from the birds and bats them all around the house
 

Katniss

And her brother Crazy !
Ha!! It is funny how they only play with it when you are not looking!! We too only hear them playing with it and never actually SEE them playing with it!!! :p

That is the advantage of hidden cameras... Catching them in the act and sharing it...

Especially when they think they are doing something wrong

I know with Jake and Sylvester I had them both trained that if I called their name preceded with MR. they knew they were doing wrong, or if they looked up at me and I was staring back they knew they were going to get fussed at. They both rarely got fussed at as they were very good. The normal punishment was 5 minutes locked up in the bathroom. After 5 minutes, they were usually over it. It has been 5 or 6 years since I have had to do that to either, When I get my new girl (F3) I hope to train her the same way. With Jake (and Sylvester before passing) when it was bedtime, I would not have to make a motion or even move. All I would have to say is "Bed Time" and both would jump up and run and get in bed and be waiting for me. They knew if I got to bed first, they would be under covers and they did not like that.. It is amazing how well they can understand English.

Haha! Smart kids! When its bedtime here Zeddie's games it outsmart me and avoid my room. I fixed that with good ol bribery.
Zeddie's favorite game is outsmart mom. Get into as much as possible without mom seeing, gameover if you're caught :p

LOL.. Funny kid you have there... Some train easy... Some train hard... I believe they are all trainable given enough time, and they are always fun.

They did not learn that over night, but it was funny watching them run up the stairs to be, both wanting to be first. They would practically trample each other.
 

Katniss

And her brother Crazy !
You know.. I never thought about it...until you mentioned this, but Katniss never sleeps with me unless Corey is in bed with me! Then she sleeps between my legs...but if Daddy falls asleep in other room, I have no kitty to sleep with!! Crazy never really sleeps with us in bed, he prefers the chaise in the room.. the only time both sleep with me is if Corey is working at his computer in the room and I am watching tv..then they will both lay with me in bed! Too funny!!:cat:

Broke down and got the new track for the boyz for Xmas/Duma's birthday (don't tell them it was from ebay lol) and it's a hit!

Compared to the other track (anyone want to buy at a nice discount?), this one is easier for them to move the ball around. But on the negative side, the track does sometimes come apart unexpectedly, and sometimes the track closes in on the ball making it stop. Got some hacking to do. I think both tracks are great, both entertaining for the boyz, but if I were to choose one over the other I'd go with the Bergan, but with the knowledge that it takes some maintenance to get it working/keep it going, and it uses up more floor space. The CatIt version "just works" with no intervention or fear of it falling apart.

Buying cheap off ebay not not telling the boy... Hmm... Not sure what your boys are going to thing about that.... They are pretty smart and can figure things out by them selves... You better tear up that address label before he finds and figures out what you did... :)
