Peppers is like no other bird I've ever met. Some birds take time to warm up to you. Peppers took a day due to jet lag but after that she started running the place. The longer she stayed the comfortable she got chewing the door frame, flying on our heads and dropping food in our hair, This was intended to be a pleasant article but honestly this bird stepping on my phone and chewing it at the moment gets on my nerves on a regular basis. I think she sees mom and I as floating islands to land on during snack time for entertainment. If we don't give her attention, she'll bite our ears. And it's not as if she doesn't have space in and around her cage. Her cage is about 4ft tall and 4square ft. She's next to two parakeets in a cage of equal size. We don't let them out because Peppers either doesn't like other birds or gets jealous and as a result she can be violent. But the parakeets are content with the space...
Rallo goes nuts every time I come over the house. He's always jumping up and it's hard to get him to calm down. Even when he's sitting after you repeatedly tell him to sit, you can tell he's still bursting with energy. He might just explode from enthusiasm one day. I plan on taking home for a walk every time I visit my brother's house to drain off some of that energy. But the walk is never enough. The harness is the only good way to take Rallo for a walk. He really does well with it. With only a collar however he pulls and pulls despite the strain in surely puts on his kneck. The harness is not perfect but you can tell he's comfortable and for whatever reason he's more under control. He still needs to be monitored but there's no call for any real concern unless she sees another dog or person. I think Rallos friendly but I'm not sure how he is with new people ...
From the Shelter: I'm going to tell you right now I'm a big fan of getting dogs from the shelter. My first dog, Princess, came from the shelter, a mixed breed of German Shepard and Golden retriever and absolutely perfect in every way. My mom picked her out. She will always have a special place in my heart and mind. I didn't get to choose the breed of dog that I wanted. She wasn't full bred anything and she didn't come from a breeder. When she came into my life, I didn't know it yet, but she needed me and I needed her. That was all. I didn't choose her personality or how much hair she would leave on the furniture. I didn't choose her past and she didn't choose mine. But we both needed rescuing and I don't think I would miss out on the opportunity to rescue someone that needed my help. From the Pet Store: I've heard that you still can be sure where the dog comes from before it arrives at the pet store....
