Here is a real short clip of one of Amy’s latest tricks… catching a treat (Charlie Bear) by tossing it from her nose. Works only if she was still enough to balance it first and we are working on concentration skills!
Amy has now learnt yet another new trick!!! She can now scratch her nose on command. It took all of 15 minutes for her to learn it. I used a sticky tape on her nose, the first few tries and then even if I acted like I was gonna put the tape on her nose, she was doing this. We are so proud of our baby girl. Take a look at this 5 second video.
Remember the video of Amy yawning on command? Well, someone posted it on a discussion board and voila! Amy is a celebrity on the net. The video had 17,000 23,000 viewers in the last few days! Well, we wonder what Nikko will be doing now?
This is a blog about our three pets - AMY - an adopted black-lab mix, who is a little more than 2 years old, but still thinks she is a puppy, NIKKO - a 10+ Jenday Conure, who is the little terror in our home and thinks he is a dog, and PEPPER, a 10+ Nanday Conure, who is the baby of the household. We have brought more joy in our lives with bringing them home. Hope you enjoy reading about them and tell us in your comments.
