artemis always tries to get his toy to scratch him and then gets angry when it doesn't.
sorry for the loud ambient noise. the camera was next to my pc.
Ivy loves shiny metal things - especially if they make noise. When she's in her cage, her current favorite thing to do is to play with her hanging steel measuring cups. It almost looks like she's playing with them like they're a speed bag.
Not the best shot, but I wasn't originally intending to get a shot of her flying. Some people have asked to see what she looks like when she's flying, so I decided to upload it.
Ivy has been making some weird noises lately. We usually refer to them as her "monkey" noises, though they really don't sound anything like a monkey. They do, however, sort of sound like the pantry door squeaking.
i've had a couple people asking what a hyacinth's scream sounds like. usually, she's pretty quiet, but when she gets upset about something, she can be pretty loud. this isn't the loudest she can be, but this should give you an idea.
(the clacking in the background is one of the dogs walking around)
Murphy the Papillon doing his "licky-chomp thing".
When people first meet Murphy they say, "aww.. he's so cute!" About 5 minutes later, they ask, "what the hell is wrong with your dog?!"
It seems that the only way to get him to stop is to pick him up - at which point he goes limp and calms down.
