Pookie's Minions - Pookie's Gone ☹

[beardie parents]

So if I do that as well, what does that mean for me? Hopelessness???
Some days I just call everyone "sweetie" as opposed to trying to remember their names. It's much better for my sanity (and this was before Digi came, so there was one of each pet type, but I still managed to mess it up). Can't imagine having as many beardies as some of you, I'd have to make dogtags.

My mom had gone down the list of all 14 kids (my siblings and 11 cousins) and still got it wrong! She was trying to call our family dog, Lucky :laughhard:

Believe it or not, Gina but some 30+ years ago I knew a wonderful and fun lady (gone now) who did the same thing. Called every one sweetie because she couldn't remember their names, including me. I didn't mind it, she knew who she was talking to, just not the name.

I think you are doing better than her. Besides, this is just normal for some people, it doesn't mean you aren't smart, just that your intelligence runs in another direction.

ha haa my son has a bumper sticker on his bedroom door that says "smart people can walk into walls, too!" and I wholeheartedly agree (seriously, some people are just bad at remembering names)... me, I remember voices for some reason, and can remember someone I haven't talked to for years or recognize a voice at a store of an old friend... weird, but that's just me

(BTW he also has another sticker that says "hide all electronic devices before handing over report cards to parents")

Gina, sweetie, do you REALLY want me to answer this before I am well?!?!? :twisted:

That depends, how drugged up are you? :lol:

Sure is, all the way out in left field :roll:


I have a cute Buddy story to tell.
This morning, while sitting on the couch trying to get motivated to work, I heard some rustling to my left. At first I thought it was coming from the outside, but it sounded to close to be from beyond the window. A few minutes later, I heard it again, which prompted me to investigate. As it turned out, it was Buddy, shifting from between the couch cushions, but still completely wedged inside. I said my hellos and went back to work. About a half hour or so later, he peeked out with bright eyes and just sat there, staring at me. Because he'd always gone back to sleep, I ignored him and let him be. To my surprise, he actually crawled out of the couch, all by himself! I was shocked!
Fast forward a couple of hours and alot of snuggles & kisses, and a few chases, I sat back down on the couch after cleaning out his dishpan and put it back on top of the coffee table. Before I knew what was happening, I heard/saw Buddy trying to climb the coffee table, even though his grate was leaning up against the couch for him to climb back up with. I picked him up, asked if he wanted to go in, and got a strange look from him, almost like he was begging for me to put him in the water.
Well, for the very first time, Buddy not only stayed in his dishpan, but he never made a peep! He'd been in there all day, without protest! OK, he did give me a slight evil eye when I asked if I could turn on the MVB, so we compromised on a CHE instead. Never had he been so well behaved without being asked to.

Roday I realized I have not been getting updates from Pookie baby buddy zim and digi....I guess I haven't posted on the thread lately and they stopped sending me updates. I enjoy reading about your beardie escapades and some of buddy's as well.

 

[Goonie]

Thanks Rukia! I'd probably be able to post more of their shenanigans if the stories aren't so long winded. :wink:

Merry Christmas, Gina!

Thanks everyone for the Christmas wishes and great pics!

Believe it or not, we haven't opened presents yet. Pookie had been the only one who was fully awake. Buddy decided that waking him up and out of his burrito was very mean of me; he went into the couch instead. Digi looked like she's in a drugged out state - eyes half open but not phased about anything, even when Pookie was black bearding and headbobbing and foot stomping her all afternoon. Zim had been taking advantage of a quiet house (compared to yesterday, being at my parents and having 3 adults coo'ing after him) and napping the day away.

Merry Christmas Gina! Sorry I'm a day late

 

[Rukia1988]

I ha time today to look back through and read where I left off and I watched the video of Zim...oh my gos what a bundle of cuteness. I also loved the story of Digi and Pookie. That is so cute she must have watched him do it and then wanted to do as pookie does. I love the buddy snuggle pictures. I wish my tortoise would snuggle...she is still too scared of me and my fiance. She shoots her pee when we go to pick her up or flings poop. She is getting to the point where she will let us scratch her neck, a turtle, tortoise favorite spot. I hope she gets as cuddly as Buddy. but it won't be fun when she's 75 pounds and trying to cuddle....

I was reminded of you the other day when I was in a pet store. They had a alligator snaping turtle in the fish pond. Someone had brought it in and didn't want it anymore. He was about the size of buddy. I am not sure what happened to him....I think he may have either sold him or traded him. I am not sure if you need a license to own one of those in the state of Illinois....

So fun! I love the stories! I can't keep beardieosk's beardies straight either...but I love her christmas picture!
