To all our fuzzie buddies out there and their caretakers.
 
With a little bit of training....you must be constantly vocal about
everything.....and extremely pushy until your message gets received...
stareing works wonders too....and suddenly your caretaker (with a little
bit of practice) will learn to understand every word, chuckle or motion.
Our Mom does really well...but then she talks to all animals...even dogs,
cats and squirrels!
 
When one of us decides we want something special......we just take it.  And
do we use telepathic communication?  Of course, don't you?  Mom has studied
lots of books on that subject.  She believes, with a bit of practice, makes
it very possible with animals, and easy too.  Caretakers have way too much
on their minds but us fuzzies are free to receive and send any time.  We
call her a lot by just staring.  She gets the message and looks at us
everytime!  Then we can show her what we want but can't reach.  Of course it
doesn't always work that way.  Sometimes she's rude and says no.  Can you
believe that?
 
Mom calls us when she has a neat treat but sometimes we don't wait for her to
ask. Sometimes we run right up her legs unless she's wearing shorts. Then we
get her to pick us up by messing with her toes! Works every time too! haha
Mom yells a lot at us....we seemed to have been trained by her too cause we
can even understand her language with no problems. One of us usually gets her
attention by giving her kisses (That's Rascal's job) while us two girls go
take what we want. It doesn't work very long though cause she's way too smart
for us and catches us every time.
 
Mom is so well trained that we can tell her anything and she seems to
understand every word or every motion!  But then Mom was easy to train cause
she sits on the floor and plays for hours with us.
 
And can we tell time? Of course. Just before the alarm goes off.....we start
ratteling our cage! Mom makes us sleep in it at night and covers it up. We go
to bed early cause Dad has to get up at 4:15am and we want to make sure he
doesn't over-sleep. If the cage rattle doesn't wake him up......then Stinkey
screams!
 
Have a great day.....and be nice to your caretakers.
Cheers, chuckles and dooks from the crew.............Stinkey (the leader and
chief in charge), Brandy (always running cause there's never enough time),
Rascal (the lover Boy) and their Mama too!
