Hi All!
It has been along time since I checked in. Just thought I would give all those whose are interested an update on Cracker. It seems like ages ago when I had problem with Cracker biting me. Sure I still get nips every once in while when I cross a line with Cracker, but I have not recieved a bite in what seems like forever and a day. Not that I am complaining. Cracker must think he is a cat or a dog because he certainly behaves like one. He will even crawl on my belly roll on his side and lift up his wing when he wants me to scritch him. I am beginning to wonder if I own Cracker or he owns me. I think he has conned me into giving him his own way. I now let him on my shoulder anytime he wants because everytime he goes on my shoulder he preens the back of my neck. Maybe Cracker has read a book on positive reinforcement. Cracker is still a one note johnny. All he will say is Cracker. I think he could probably learn more words if I would put in the effort to teach him, however, I am not willing to put in the time or effort to teach him to talk when he already seems like the best pet in world. That is all for now. I will attempt to check in with all of you more often.

I'm glad Cracker's doing so well!
