Bandit is still being dragged out nightly. Lately, though, I've been sitting with him downstairs, thinking he'd like to look at something other than the bathroom walls. It's a bit of a gamble; should he get away from me I have a feeling it would be forever and a day before we got him back in the cage. This evening, he seemed to get a little hyper so I took him upstairs into the bathroom, where he calmed down.

Where he likes to spend a lot of his time when he isn't sitting on my shoulder. He usually sticks his head into the crook of my arm and I scratch him right behind the ears--that rarely fails to get him to brux. If I stop, he'll pull his head out and look at me as if to ask, "What'd you stop for?"

Turned around and not looking quite so pleasingly plump. He's a cutie, isn't he?

He loves his scritches.

Posted by: Shamisen at January 16, 2006 06:33 PMHi!
You are doing a wonderful job with Bandit. It seems that his self esteem is improving and he is beginning to trust you and realize that you won't reject him. It's going to take more time, but I think it will be okay. I've been continuously sending him healing. Would you like me to have another chat with him?

Posted by: Celynny at January 23, 2006 12:13 AMHi there! It's your friendly personal animal communicator here. LOL When I read your post about his latest problems, I sensed that Bandit needed to get you a message. He was kind of "tapping me on the shoulder" the way I told him to if he needed help. He said that the yogurt is hurting his stomach too. Maybe you could get him some soy yogurt. It has the live cultures in it just like the milk-based kind does without the milk which might be causing him problems. There are also acidophylis tablets that you could give him. Just a though! I hope he feels better soon!
