Baloo is getting older, yes I am acknowleding it, and he is not letting me forget. Playtime is more rough and tumble now and he bites harder when we are playing. I know it isnt aggression but he isnt my cuddly,bubble baby anymore (well he still is but you know, the gentler side). Also when he was younger he would just piggy squeel when I would take him away from somewhere he wanted to be, but now he squeels and pinches my hand! What a brat! It's nothing you can't tolerate, but still! I'm pret...

Baloo, Bam Bam and I were lounging on the couch as usual when Baloo had the itch to create a little mayhem and decided he wanted to try some of Bam Bams rawhide. He walked towards it and started to gnaw on one end with Bam Bam eyeballing this colorful,gutsy, mini-dog. I took Baloo away so Bam Bam wouldnt become upset but Baloo was set on it and ran back to it. After a few times of annoyed squeals and running back he sprinted and jumped but instead of landing on the rawhide, landed on the side...

So I was hemming Baloos sweater sock (don't laugh, it's cute and we like to take evening walks and it gets chilly lol), and there was a mini ziplock baggie with buttons that Baloo was playing with on the couch with me.

I tried to take it away from him but he kept shaking it harder, then came the angry piggy squeals. I had him on his back at this po...

So I am quite proud of Baloo, I had no idea how quick and intelligent he really is. I was able to teach him to wave hello and play dead in two days. Teaching hi was fairly easy, I first crushed some walnut into bite size pieces. Then I would wave hello with my hand and with my other hand I would get near his chest to simulate "step up" and as soon as he would lift his foot I would give him a treat. I kept on doing this and gradually would have him lift his foot higher by lifting my "step up" ...

I just put an empty Hello Panda box at the bottom of Baloo's cage a couple days ago, just to see if he would want to chew it. He started to explore it when he discovered it had an opening to what is now the infinite world of Baloo's imagination. He walked into it and started purring and purring, it was soo cute ! the box was rocking back and forth as he was walking around in it, I managed to get a little footage but it's not that great. Since then he has been in and out of that box and whistl...
