Well, Kiwi is a stubborn thing that wants nothing to do with physical affection and detests scritches, but that doesn't mean we don't still have a good bond! I know I've posted a lot of pics of my hubby and Kiwi, as my hubby isn't very "camera-inclined" so theres usually more of him than me due to that. But, I decided whilst out exercising Kiwi today, I'd put the camera on auto/continuous shoot and have my hubby play photographer
So, since Kiwi can't actually figure out REAL flight, we keep him strong and active by doing daily "assisted flights" around the house, and he *especially* loves "flying" outdoors. He hangs onto my hand for dear life and flaps just as furiously as a little bird can! This is one of my favorite bonding activities with him as he enjoys it so much:
Just look at how happy that bird is!
And afterwards, kisses all around! It may look like he's about to rip my lip off, but in fact, he's just going in for a most excited thank you kiss while making joyful squeals and whistles
Check out the eye!
And the tongue (Kiwi gives french kisses)
And the best for last- I can sneak a back kiss when he's real happy, but it's not his favorite thing to have happen...
