So cute ! I love how he bounces , lol.
Is he enjoying the attention or is it the camera ?
Stella has her head buried in her toy box right now talking to her toys.

HAHA Stella! funny :D

In that particular case Zaf was bouncing a bit because he wanted to jump aboard me and he was anxious to do so. But I was too far away and I kept my distance because I was trying to capture him talking a bit on video. Usually when I pull the camera out his speech totally stops. At least I got a couple of shy "hello's" out of him this time.

But he's definitely a bouncer by nature. He especially loves to bounce to music and do the chicken-flap. Then there's Salsa who actually hops.

I had Stella on my arm the other day and I was bouncing her slowly and making little noises as I was doing it . I never did this with her so she was quite amused .
She was looking at me with a surprised smile on her face. At least it looked like she was smiling , lolol. The eye contact she makes with me is almost shocking !
I am trying new things with her slowly , she is never put off or afraid. If I see her getting concerned , I tell her it's ok and stop and let her look things over. Once she does that , all is right in Stella World :) :) :)

I want to take her places with me , like on short trips or to Home Depot which I have been spending lots of time :(. But she doesn't let me put the harness on all the way yet .
I know she will , I have no doubt about that , but it's never soon enough.
Her wings are clipped , but we know that doesn't mean anything...
I would think she would be too heavy to get any lift , but I'm sure I'm wrong.

Baby is good to go anywhere , but I haven't taken the plunge yet and taken him out into the world , only outside on my property.

Sorry for hijacking is thread folks :/

Thanks... I think he's darn cute too. And I do feel very lucky to have him (as well as my others). Zaf and I have such a special bond though. I can't even express how special he is to me.

I really need to set up a video camera BEFORE I take mousy out and play.
I always forget it or it's just not handy at the time I need it :(
