Hi Friends! Happy Sunday!
I'm really enjoying my breakfast salad today, especially the spaghetti squash slices.
Hi Friends! I've had a busy winter, but I'm still here, ready to be adopted from www.mickaboo.org! I learned a new game & I love it! This game helps me learn how to accept being toweled if I need to at the vet!
Hi Friends! I'm doing so great learning that it pays off to stay on my perch when the humans are eating and quietly eat my own food. AND I am even accepting steamed spinach as a reinforcer. Go me.

Good day, Friends! I'm a whiz when it comes to learning from clicker training! I travel many feet to touch a target now. We've moved on to practicing my inside voice during meals. I'm learning (1) not to scream and (2) to eat my own food when the humans are eating. In the 1st video, I get a click and treat (a bit of my pumpkin slice) after a variable number of seconds of quiet waiting. I yelp when approached after the click so my trainer briefly turns away and gives me another chance (this was allowed at 1st because I *was* quiet and that behavior- or lack thereof- was tagged, but the yelp wasn't going away as of a couple days ago. Foster moms get to make executive decisions). In the 2nd video, I get a click and treat for eating my own food while the human eats theirs. This is going very well! We are about 6 days in.
Hi Friends! It's been a while. I had a fun Halloween and Gratitude Day. Now I am enjoying the aftermath, last night in the form of Indian pumpkin curry. Who knew I liked eating pumpkin (after it being under cool water and the sauce rinsed off).
I'm not sure who's more excited about this CSA delivery- me or my foster mom?
Hi Friends! Long time no see. My foster mom told me I need to produce more content if I ever want to be adopted. Here I am singing in the shower. Ok maybe not singing, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
Hi Friends! This morning, my foster mom picked up a pet puzzle from her Gifting With Integrity/Buy Nothing group. I'm quickly learning to use it.
You can find your own neighborhood gifting group here. There are groups all over the world where neighbors share stuff & time & community. https://giftingwithintegrity.org/world-wide-map/
I am a huge fan of summer peaches! Just a few bites though so I don't eat too much sugar.
Harvesting Snap Peas
Hello friends! One of my new favorite things is harvesting snap peas every morning from this blue shape toy. This toy is very special to me as I brought it with me when I came to Mickaboo from my home of 40 years! My foster mom cleaned it up for me, and I remembered it! Who knew it grew snap peas?!
Tomato Time
Hi Friends! I eat tomatoes now. Looking forward to all the produce summer time in Oakland has to offer!
Artichokes! Yum!
Hi, I'm Emma & I'm looking for a forever home. I can be adopted through www.mickaboo.org. Guess what? I eat artichokes now. They are delicious!
Human Preening
My new favorite thing is to gently groom humans. I like a reciprocal arrangement where you get the pin feathers on my neck and I get a few skin cells for you. I also try to gently prompt the human to scratch my head while it's so close to a hand.
Mmmmmm kale
I am a vegetable and fruit eating machine this week. Here I am enjoying some steamed kale with lemon. The only catch is you have to stand there and hold whatever I am eating. Vegetables in bowls are a no!
Vegetables!
I seem to eat a better variety of foods every week. Here i am enjoying some cauliflower "rice." I also just ate some acorn squash. Yum!
