well firstly after having him home for a week i realised scooby didnt fit as a name ..... so I pondered and plotted and eventually my daughter came up with Phoenix.
I sat with phoenix today trying out his name and he gives me a loooooooooooooooooong story of baby babble .. so he responds to it.
His breeder and I have been in constant contact since I brought him home ..... I feel quite sorry for the breeder he feel in love with phoenix
He is eating like a pig ... once he discovered his food bowl there is no stopping him , im still giving him baby food for comfort and extra nutrition , just a taste morning and evening , but he is eating his pellets, all his veggies and fruit.
Sunflower seeds I have reduced to about 10% of his total meal ... ill use them for snacks.
He is very playful and cant seen to decide who he loves more at this stage .. me or hubby ...... we sit on opposite ends of a table .... and ill call him to me ... and he comes running .. I get kisses and cuddles then hubs call him .. and he charges along the table to him and so it goes on.
Hubs and I are taking turns feeding him so i hope we wont have bonding issues later.
he has met the dogs and has crashlanded under my boxers noses several times, but my dogs are well trained and are simply fascinated.... of course I supervise.
he has also met the cats .. who arent impressed, they have enough of a rough time as it is with geese, chickens and snoopy ....
I had to clip him .... because he will not stay put on his playtree or his cage .. he isnt cage bound and can go where he pleases as long as it where I say he can play
ie his playtree.....He had his first shower today and the duck in him came out I thought he was going to start tring to swim , snoopy has never showed so much pleasure in a bath
He is stepping up fairly well when he can figure out where to put his feet ... he is sooooo clumsy its painful watching him.
He likes to bash his bells and play on a rope I have strung across the room ....
Getting fiddly too now .. wants to compute
.... I have already replaced a keyboard and mouse with snoopy 
Snoopy btw is my sun.
he knows "his' room now so we are now starting to introduce him to the rest of the house ......
he is just adorable I cant explain how much im enjoying him , Im getting nothing done , because all I want to do all day is chat to him.
