22 Hours to go!!!!

Dan, I just love your post and the photos. Tango is gorgeous and looks like she's a very happy bird!

I'm also glad that first photo established that Tango was in a car. In one of the subsequent pictures, it looks she's atop her travel cage on the handlebars of a motorcycle!

In other news, Eliza and Henry keep taking my iPad to look at your photos. And, for some reason, they're acting insufferably pleased with themselves today. I have no idea why. They never tell me anything...

Wow what a weekend! Tango is just a sweetheart, we love him to bits!!! He's more interested in shoulder surfing and cuddling than playing right now and we're just lapping it up. I didn't even go to the gym this morning so I could set this up LOL:

Tango's WebCam!

That should keep Eliza and Henry busy for a little while... unless they decide to break in to the house again for some camera time lol!

Now to try and do some work and of course check the camera every 2 minutes

First, I apologize for getting Tango's gender wrong; I kept saying "she" in my last post.

I totally love the webcam! Eliza and Henry are with me right now...I suspect they want me to get a webcam for them now!

Once again, congrats on the wonderful new arrival!

How very exciting for you and your family...and Tango too! Thank you for sharing the journey, you brought back many fond memories from my earlier days with Oliver. And all I can say, is it gets better and better as the bonding time grows...

Photos are aawesome Dan!!
They don't seem to like riding in the car inside a carrier!! Mine fight over who gets to ride perched on the dash vents!! (I guess they like the air blowing up their butts!!)

 

[DanR]

LOL yep, massive struggle in the carrier, so I just flipped it open and he was content to just sit on the rim and watch the traffic.

More pics from the weekend

BATH TIME!!! (apparently the water bowl is for water, making soup, the toilet and the tub all in one!)

He doesn't seem to want to go on the swing or in his tent... but he sure loves to climb on TOP of them:

Can I come out again, huh, can I? Again, one more time, can I can I can I??

Flight attempt #455 in 5... 4... 3...

Daddy must have left that last soggy corn flake just for me...

Can't wait for it to finally warm up for visits to the park in fron of my house

Hi Terry! Thank you so much, glad you like the pics and the cam The live webcam thing is REALLY easy to do but yo udo need some kind of webhosting. So in my case I have a personal website. So I created a folder called tango and then I downloaded and install a small cam streaming software called TinCam at www.tincam.com - You simply install this software, tell it what webcam to use (youhave to have a PC or laptop with a webcam attached or built in), how often to snap the photo and you put in the FTP settings for your website to upload the photos. You save it and set it to auto-capture and the magic begins

There's also free cam software that will let you stream actual video to a streaming site like ustream, justin.tv etc OR you can have a streaming server right on your PC, but that's a bit too unsecure for my taste. The photo option is easy, doesn't need crazy bandwidth and it's secure.

If anyone needs help setting this up, just let me know

Dan
