Did Sammy Get Back In His Cage Without Biting Me?

Well, yes and no. The first time I attempted to get Sammy back in his cage he was on the back of my chair and I gave him a 15 minute warning. Then 10 minutes later I put new food and water into his work cage and believe it or not, he went without too much problem.

The second time was a much much much different situation. He was on top of his work cage and it is a little bit taller than me. So Sammy would jump from the back to the front on top of the cage which made me have to walk around the cage. Seriously this went on for 14 minutes. Also he would charge me and bite the crap out of me too. I realize that I have to win but geez he was really pissing me off!! I saw that the dogs had gone outside so I closed the dog door and showed Sammy the hallway so he would know that we were going to the other cage. Nope that didn't work either. So I just grabbed his little legs and pried his little feet off the cage and took him flapping and biting. No, I didn't hurt your baby, Paul. By the time I got him to his cage, he had quit biting and so I started praising him, all the time cussing to myself, and gave him a peanut. He took it. I won!?

So today, I thought about what my daughter had said. That he's around me all the time and just like a small child will be awful to the mother who is with him all the time but be such an angel for daddy. I said good morning to him as always, then ignored him and went back to work without him. He was whistling dixie (not really) but he was calling me ALOT and I would whistle back. In fact, I didn't get him out until 1:30 when I stopped for lunch. He sat on my shoulder for a good 15-20 minutes and didn't want to get down. I still couldn't get kisses but he was really glad to see me. When I said it's dog time, he kept walking and flying away from me. And of course, a few bites but nothing like yesterday. I'll get him out around 5 today and see what happens then. Wish me luck!
