Pookie's Minions - Pookie's Gone ☹

[Goonie]

:laughhard: You and Pookie are too funny!

I honestly was not expecting the reaction that I got from Pookie. He only gave me the :shock: look after I finished talking, and would stop when I started to talk again. The more I talked, the more he looked at me with such intense eyes.

Again, he's smarter than I give him credit for.

When I got home tonight, I told Pookie that I had a surprise for him, to which I got a :shock: look. Then, I told him about the phone call and again, I got :shock: . Finally, I told him that I volunteered him for the event because he loves people and kids, and loves to socialize. Again, I got :shock: . That's when I asked him if it'd be ok, that I thought it'd be fun for him, and surprisingly, I DIDN'T get a :shock: look. I guess the previous :shock: looks meant that he was excited about what I was saying, and why he didn't do it at the end meant that he approved.

:lol: You have a very smart Pookie!

Ahem, about the event, THAT'S AWESOME!
I can totally imagine Pookie signing autographs... :lol:

You two are going to be such a hit with the kids, you'll have to give us EVERY detail of the whole event. That's such an honour that they invited you, how exciting And I'll bet the :shock: looks were funny, Pookie is such a smart beardie. I've never come across one anything like him

Thanks! He learns so much by simply observing and listening. I don't and had never purposely taught him anything. Guess I just got lucky that he's so willing to learn, even if I don't want him to
Oh my! I could just see the kids' faces if Pookie wanted to sign autographs! How funny would that be!

Pookie is such a smart beardie. I've never come across one anything like him

Me neither, and as cool as it is, I hope there isn't another one out there like him. I mean, could you imagine what the world would be like if they're all as smart as Pookie? They'd take over the world! :silent:

You better keep your eyes on Gianna, she is a LOT like her daddy!

 

[beardie parents]

That is soo true, Diane! She's even the incredible escape artist.

 

[diamc]

She sure is! She even sleeps the same way he does.

 

[beardie parents]

You're right, Diane. Only time will tell just how much of Pookie she's inherited, both good and bad. Maybe she's inherited some of the same type of stuff from her mommy.

 

[sweetiepie9]

I think Gianna is a great mix of both her parents, even if she is Daddy's twin! Have you measured and weighted her lately, Gina? The time sure flies!

 

[Goonie]

Gianna is definitely a spitting image of her dad, but she also has her mama's bravery (thank god!).

I haven't measured her lately, but did weigh her last week. She still hasn't broken the 200 gram mark but she keeps on growing longer and longer. She eats like a champ too, so I have no idea why she's still so skinny.

Speaking of Gianna, when I pulled back the blanket this morning and said good morning to her, she poofed up her little beard and opened her mouth so wide! I tried stroking her beard and head but she continued to show her little grumpiness, until I finally said "Baby Gianna, it's mommy! It's ok, it's mommy." That was when her mouth closed and the beard deflated. Guess somebody didn't want to get up yet (even though it was past 10am).

 

[beardie parents]

Good morning, Gina. I think she may not have recognized you. Goldie did that to me one day but I'd had sunglasses on, it was the first time she saw me in those sunglasses and she didn't recognize me until I spoke to her. She had less problems with it during succeeding days of seeing me in those sunglasses.

 

[sweetiepie9]

Beardies are so funny whey they decided to poof, especially when they're startled. Titan does it to me when I find him when he's on outside time and I get the whole thing, black beard, poof & open mouth. I just scoop him up and laugh at him and he stops :lol:

 

[Goonie]

I guess she never heard me call her prior to removing the blanket and was not quite awake even though her eyes were opened and her head was up.

 

[beardie parents]

That's possible. Rosie can have her eyes opened and still be a bit sleepy.

Both Pookie and Gianna did great today! The kids loved them!

I had missed the first group of kids being introduced to my kids, because I had to run back home to get my camera (I knew I was forgetting something but couldn't think of what until I had already hit the road). They were still there but had moved on to the dogs/cats. After all of the intros were done, a few kids started asking questions about Pookie and had asked to hold them.

There was this little boy from the first group that was totally fascinated with Pookie, and didn't want to let him go even when it was time for them to leave.

Pookie never once got upset by being passed from one person to the next. He loved all of the attention and being able to sit on the kids' shoulders. Gianna was ok at first, but the more I held her, the less she wanted to be among the crowd. She even ended up hiding behind me towards the end of the second group's visit.

I had taken a few pics which need to be uploaded to PB.
