The bunny has three holes through which it comes and goes and Amy keeps track of all those, sniffing from where the bunny went and which one it came back in.
Amy loves the snow - doesn’t matter how windy it is, or how cold it is, she just loves to play outside in the snow. She is the only reason we ever spend anytime outside in this weather. The snow just makes her go nuts, she needs very little prompting or no stimulus from us at all - the snow does it. Here is a short clip of her running around, just because.
During the holidays, on our way back from New Orleans, we stopped to see the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The Gateway Arch (Jefferson National Expansion Memorial) signifies the westward expansion of the United States. We went there in the evening and it was pretty cold and got dark soon. We played a lot with Amy in the woods between the Arch and the parking lot. However, we had to come back in the morning to take some good pictures. It was still not a great day for pictures, but with hardly anyone around, Amy had a good running session.
Here is another short clip of Amy, doing a belly-up on command. She loves her belly rubbed like any other doggie. The treat is a bonus
Nikko and Pepper love peanuts. Equivalent to Amy’s Kong, we have a peanut holder for the birdies, that stimulates them and they play around with it to get to the yummy nuts. Pepper usually tries to reach and grab with her beak, and uses one of her legs to hold it steady, while she works her way through.
Nikko gets really excited when he sees peanuts even before I get to put them in the toy. He runs around the cage, trying different ways to get to them. His best shot on it is by hanging upside down. I will go for anything that keeps him busy.
