Simon Says

'Ello!

We took Simon out for his first trip outside. It was precious! He loved it!!! In his nearly 4 month old life he's never been outside before. I mean, he has, he lived outside before we got him, but he lived in a big pen of hay and poop and lots and lots of siblings. This was his first trip out to green grass and freedom. He hopped and hopped and tried to eat everything he could find. He even hugged a tree. So cute. He would hop around then come back and crawl in my lap like "Did you see me?!?! Did you?!? That was fun! Don't go anywhere!" lol Randy was nervous because he was convinced he was going to get away but he did a fantastic job. I loved seeing the sheer joy he was having. I'm sure he gets depressed in his cage all the time and I know our house is rather dark and gloomy so I think this was just the pick me up he needed. I got Sam's play pen out for him so he could be in the floor and climb on his toys and such and have a lot more room than in his cage or sitting on the couch with me, but I don't think he's too big of a fan of it. I'm not really sure. Outside will officially be and every other day thing from now on though. Well, if it's not too cold or raining. I'm worried about him getting too too comfortable outside before next weekend's mini sessions because I don't want him to think he can run off, but I think we're going to be just fine. I love him so much. He has been such a perfect pet for me. He is so in tune with my emotions and the two of us are very insync with on another. I'll be glad when I'm not quite so busy so we can start learning tricks. We're going to learn to 'sit pretty' before anything else. He does it on his own at times but I want him to do it on command for photo purposes, and just because it's stinkin cute.
