I had such a good night last night with Pascal. He did not act like he was going to bite us. That was a great success! Usually he opens his mouth like a warning–mess with me and get bit! The only time he did that was when I told him it was night-night time and went to pick him up to take him downstairs to his cage. He only made that gesture once though and then let me pick him up.
All night, he was gentle and sweet. He allowed us to pet him and pick him up. He also played ball with me. Playing ball is basically me saying ball and handing it to him. Then he flicks it and I catch it. It’s not much of a game yet, but we’ll build on it.
I was just so pleased with his behavior. I feel like I’m making so much progress with him.
Michael begged me to take his photo last night when he was holding Pascal. It came out kind of cute. Just look at the joy on Michael’s face.
