Another Observation

Tonight's cuddle session lasted almost an hour and a half and not 1 pick or pluck!

A Discovery

Last evening, Sisco didn't get her nightime cuddle until much later in the evening. This made her very unhappy and she picked and plucked the whole entire cuddle time until I put her back into her cage. So, she seems to pick and pluck when she is tired and upset. What should I do about this? Hubby and I don't go out often at all, maybe 2 times a month, but when we do, I want it to upset Sisco. How can I make sure she won't be upset when we leave and she didn't get her cuddle time?

Day 2 of Sisco training

Today is far from over, but I wanted to share something... Normally, when I am busy doing housework, Sisco is on her cage. She is just too much of a handful to cart around with me all day. She either bites at me, preens me too roughly, or pulls my hair. She also digs into my shoulders and scratches my neck all up to smithereens.

That doesn't mean that she can't come into the same room as me, tho and hang out while I am doing other things. Duh! She was in the kitchen with me while I cleaned (non-toxic chemicals of course!) and while she was with me, we talked and I kept her engaged so she wouldn't pick!

Since the sun is shining so beautifully today, we will work on her fear of water. 

My new full time job

I have been given some wonderful advice regarding Sisco's plucking issues. She told me that I may have to dedicate 6+ hours into helping her to stop and it is going to be a long process, but it is doable. I am determined and encouraged to get her to stop plucking! And of course, I will keep everyone posted on our progress.

Awww

                                          Isn't she precious?!

Yep! I Got It All Under Control

Biggest lie I have ever told myself!

I Totally Made My Son's Day Today

and exposed myself to a little bit of culture at the same time. How did I do this? I took my son to a jazz festival. He enjoyed himself immensely! He was rocking out in the way only he can. Snapping his fingers, tapping his cane (umbrella), and beating his hands against the wall. It was too cute!

Unfortunately, even at a jazz festival where funky hats and bohemian style clothing is perfectly acceptable, he still stood out and got quite a few people gawking at him. He wore his fedora and scarf. He was also carrying an umbrella, but it was pouring and a tornado touched down in the next town over so it was warranted and he wasn't the only one carrying one. He also wasn't the only one that was totally getting into the music. 

My son is one of the people that I look up to, because he has no fear of standing out and being his own person. He's awesome!

Me thinks I will be hearing more bongo drumming coming from his room in the near future :)

This is who we saw today: http://renemarie.com/ She's awesome!
