They're just tasting ya

 

He's actually a really sweet dog considering he just got here with a bunch of people he doesn't know. Very well behaved. He will stay right on his little bed we put out for him, will sleep all night, stay right there (as long as there is someone there, he starts howling like a coyote if you leave him by himself for more that a couple hours and he cant get next to a bed where we are) soon as he sees a person he is all over you. Really sweet dog, just minds his own business and keeps to himself, but will sit next to you if he can get petted.

 

Must eat a lot of salt.

 

Same here. I think some of my friend's dogs like me more than them!

 

No doubt that your friend's dogs like you more than your friends like you

 

That's probably true!

 

Animals will like some people better than others. I had a parrot, a Timneh African Grey, who only liked me and women.

I used to go into a pet store and the owner there would take in his friends Congo African Grey whenever they went away. The bird didn't like anyone in the store, not even the store owner. One day I was in there and had my fingers in the cage and the bird had his feathers up and head down and leaning into me letting me scratch him. One time the store owner was there and he stood there watching me from a distance. I thought I was doing something wrong, and he was just amazed that i've been the only one that could get near that bird, besides it's owner, and not get attacked.

 

Yeah, those birds are like though, aren't they?
It's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with those bad boys.

 

Yeah, sometimes. Mine would come over to me, put his head down and lift the feathers up and want to be scratched. After a few seconds of that, i'd have to be careful not to lose a finger!

Yeah, this is a dog thread, but gotta toss in a bird pic.

 

 

Gus is getting to be huge!

 

Looking a fair bit like your sisters dog if memory serves right (Ginger, is it?)

 

Yes, their coloring is very similar, but they don't really look like each other.

 

How has Ginger been doing? There hasn't been any updates so I assume all is well?

 

She had another lump or something a few weeks back, and my sister took it in, but it wasn't anything to worry about. So she's doing ok right now.

 

Looks like we may be keeping him. Any ideas for a name for him? We'll have to teach him a new name, that may be hard.

I thought about biscuit. He looks like a burnt biscuit, black on top, brown around the edges and white in the middle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Blue or Bluey for those eyes! Of course it will probably be taken out of context more than once!

 

Greys are awesome. I wanted a grey or a blue years ago. so social and fun.

 

The vocabulary on them is awesome. This one spoke a lot of words and make this clicking sound when you gave him a treat.

What do you mean by "Blue"? Blue Naped Amazon?

 

yes blue amazons. I befriended a blue at a pet store a few years back. couldn't afford the $2k price but the staff always let him hop on my shoulder for a while
