Hah. It seems to have worked. Good.

I was SO pleased to have the Beaks in today! As some of you might know, we've been renovating and so the poor Beaks have been stuck outside for weeks now. I was afraid they wouldn't remember what it was like to come indoors and play! But I needn't have. They remembered everything, even their little tricks. We had a lovely bath together and then a nice, bonding blow-drying session afterward. Barney snuggled up into my neck and Madgie sat on my shoulder and they slept for a good half-hour. When it was time to go home through the hole-in-the-wall, they simply walked through the barge gate without a whimper. Sadly, I can't have them in again for a while, since there'll be plastering and painting going on. But it was nice to bond again today, if only briefly. I love my Beakies! :)
 
Love this video Trish!! Sweetest little things and funny!! Love the way madge crawls all over you!! ;) :)
 
They appear to have had a very good time! You 'beaks' are adorable. Thanks for sharing:)
 
Trish, that made my whole day!!! Madge is quite the climber, but it looked like Barney like having you and the mister all to himself:)
That really cracked me up:) I held Xander so he could watch and he just kept honking, then screaming PRETTY BIRD!!! Uh oh, I think he may have fallen for Madge.

And I really enjoyed seeing you in there too:)
 
LOL I couldn't stop laughing at Madge climbing all over you! The beaks are super cute!
 
LOVED the video, Trish!!!! Cracked up laughing when Madge was all over you. What acrobats! :) And you had just as much of a good time as the Beaks....admit it. ;)
 
Love it!! They are so funny! Loooove the water, don't they? :D
 
Thanks, guys. Next time, I'll try to get Matt to film them having their blow-drying session. They go even crazier over that!

The first time I blow-dried them, they were a bit uncertain. Madge got the hang of it pretty quickly, but Barney took a few times to get the idea. Now, though, they turn themselves into pretzels to get the best spot in front of the warm air (usually on top of my head). All I have to do is go in the bathroom and turn the dryer on and within seconds I have a very large, flapping green hat. LOL!

(Psst! They are cute, aren't they?)
 
I LOVED this video, Trish! Madge is a serious acrobat! And they both obviously enjoyed themselves immensely! Or actually, all three of you enjoyed yourselves. I also loved hearing you laugh, my friend.

So bring on the video of the blow-drying session! We'll all be looking forward to it!
 
I loved that Trish! :D SO funny and cute! Thanks for sharing. Yes, a blow dry video would be a fun one too!
