Rodney

I didn't know the yippees contained sugar (off to get box .............) but they're probably less sugary than the Vitakraft sticks. It's the honey and spelt ones I have I think.

You're right they contain sugar - how annoying. Hopefully not much - it's quite a way down the ingredients list. Also carrot and/or apple which is probably why they like them so much!

It says sugar free recipe but states honey as the last ingredient.

 

[Member ID2]

There's no sugar in Nibblots or shrimp cookies.

 

[RainbowBrite]

Orko likes shrimp cookies. I have to chop them up with a sharp knife for him as he cannot eat it himself if it is whole.

 

[Member ID2]

The little monkey! I put a blanket down to keep him away from the wall but he thinks, oh great, i can strip wallpaper higher up now.

 

[RainbowBrite]

I think Rodney believes this is his new quest.

 

[Member ID2]

I'm resorting to distraction techniques now.

Is there food in that box by any chance? Rodney and the wallpaper reminds me of Newt and our sliding door into the kitchen. As a sliding door it didn't quite close securely. And had a bit of a gap underneath - didn't think the gap was big enough but found Newt's head sticking out the other side a couple of times! So I stuffed cushions into the gap and a blanket up the side so he couldn't get through. He'd just go under the cushions or climb the blanket at the side and actually push the door open a bit by squeezing through it above the blanket. It's a game! The more challenges you set the more determined they are to flout them!

 

[RainbowBrite]

He looks very happy with his box. Syrians sound a lot of fun.

 

[Maz]

They are very cheeky Rainbow Sneaky even sometimes! They like to trick you sometimes! I don't know about Beryl's but some of mine did - they wait till you're looking away for a second and they do a disappearing act.

 

[Member ID2]

Haha, Newt was a character!

Yes, they are very determined. I think climbing into the cereal cupboard is too easy now and i grabbed him before he got behind the fridge (i guess that will be his next mission) so it was the wallpaper. After that he tried to climb the stairs and managed one. He jumped up and down for ages trying to get to the next one. He tired himself out and eventually climbed onto my legs to go home. Rodney forgets that he's 2 years 4 months old now. Must be that Dr S potent brew that gave him another lease of life.

 

[RainbowBrite]

Aww how cute he went to his mum when he was tired. That is adorable.

 

[Member ID2]

Oh yes, all the Syrians come back to me when they want something.

Rodney is not coming out tonight. I was getting a bit worried so checked on him. He grabbed a strip of toilet paper and pulled it over him like a blanket so i left him to it.

 

[Maz]

Aw - he is doing his own thing.

 

[RainbowBrite]

All the best for the appointment today.

Rodney is the oldest one now at 2yrs4mths.

He's currently going through a bad patch healthwise which has been like that on and off for a while. Antibiotics didn't sort it so it's a matter of observing. I think he may have developed food intolerances in old age. Cauliflower may be the next thing to come off the menu.

He got up for a little Ella's baby porridge and then came over to chirp at me. A chirp is always a complaint. I think he was miffed because i was at work overnight and my OH's away as well. He had plenty of food and bedding and the central heating was on.

 

[RainbowBrite]

He looks like he is enjoying his porridge. How cute he missed you when you were away at work.

 

[Coco61]

Porridge still goes down well and I would be surprised if Rodney developed any intolerance to it.
It’s a good treat in this colder weather.

 

[Maz]

Aw Rodney - he looks to be really enjoying his porridge - and he missed you!
