Escaping CAG ...on foot!
Izzy's learned a new trick. He slinks down off his playstand, and runs ...not waddles, not walks.. RUNS through the house. He has mastered a weird sliding run on our hardwood floors and it is incredibly fast. He makes hooting noises and that loud "RAAAWK" playing sound as he does it. He's not scared of anything, he just seems to find it very fun and when we tear after him, he whistles, runs... pauses to see if we're chasing, and runs more. Only when we give up catching him, does he sneak back in, his little eyes bright.

So, my question is ...should we ignore him (I swear, he reminds me of a just walking baby doing this lol, oh the memories!) and then just put him on his stand until he remains there, or chase his feathery butt around for a bit because it's a fun game? I'd hate for him to get the message that he can traipse around the house at will, but I also don't want to stiffle his exuberance.

He sounds like a funny little boy! That is too funny. Yes, I agree with the others get videos with sound. I'd love to see him.

I got a visual on that! Yes. You have to get video. That is hysterical. And it sounds like Izzy thinks this is a really cool game!
