Hello

I LLLIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEEEE!

Been out for a while. Just thought I would share a few lessons that I have learnt over the short (but awesome) amount of time Rygel has been in our family.

1. White clothes and strawberries are a bad idea (New Year Outfit Ruined- many laughs)
2. Fruit of any kind does not belong to humans, it must be inspected by Rygel first
3. Washing up is problematic with a water loving buddy
4. Hosing the garden is problematic with a water loving buddy
5. Water in general can be problematic...
6. Ice Wars between Rygel and my husband are into the third week (he stalks, he steals, he drops down clothes)
7. Poop is a revenge tool
8. Zip ties are your friend...birds are escape artists (yes, he can take apart his cage doors, it may take days but HE WILL)
9. The remote controls to anything are the enemies they must be mauled at all costs
10. Blankets are forts- one must ask permission to touch/enter. Defend AT ALL COSTS
11. DANCE DANCE DANCE to the random ads on TV...I thought he was having a fit the first time.
12. See these artists tools...MINE
13. Little toe war with Mum...5 weeks and counting
14. 'Step up'...no you mean head scratches...'Step up'...Seriously head scratches...'Step up'...FINE
15. Snuggling is the cutest thing ever.
