Well, yesterday was the day that I got to pick up my new found friend, Meeko. Surprisingly enough, he was much more curious about me than he was the previous day on our initial meeting. I was very excited to take him home and hoping that he was too!
As soon as I got home, I immediately began assembling his new home. I was eager to hold him, but my boyfriend got to him first (grrr haha)! He was fine with him and I was a little disappointed because of how standoffish he was of me the previous day. Shockingly, Meeko started to lick Paulo's hand! Now I'm even more envious because he's supposed to be my friend, but I'm also glad at the same time that he is being socialable. I let them hang out for a bit then requested that I be able to hold Meeko.
He was shy at first but then he warmed right up to me and was trying to crawl all over me, and he even licked me as well!! I was so excited and happy that this happened so suddenly!! We played together for a while and then I placed him in his new home.
Once in his cage, I assumed he was going to dart right for his igloo and hide but, he did the exact opposite and went right for his food! He explored a bit, then grew tired and ventured into his igloo for a nap.
I myself was starting to get tired later on so I wanted to wish him a good night and tell him that I love him and am so happy of the progress we made that day so I woke the poor little guy up. Needless to say, he wasn't happy about that at all, but once he was awake he was right back to crawling all over the place.
An exciting thing happened, he fell asleep in my hand on my lap and put his quills all the way down which he hadn't quite done yet, close, but not quite. I was so happy and content and wished I could just take him to bed with me and we could sleep the night away but I knew he needed to be returned to his home I had made for him to get some sleep.
I placed him in his caged, he walked around a bit and then ventured off into his igloo with his blankie. I bid him goodnight and told him that I would see him bright and early the next day.
