There I said it. Almost two weeks ago we got some new toys. Included in the toys is a "barrel of fun" foraging toy. After showing Peanut a few times he is still not able to open it. Screaming at it or using brute force also does not open the toy. Pinky my special little girl managed to open it after only one demonstration. Some of the babies have learned by watching Pinky, but alas poor Peanut does not yet have the idea.

Peanut excels at feats of daring and strength. No dish in a ring is any match for my boy. He can push a full dish of food over the edge of the gym, he always makes sure he is watching so that he does not miss the resultant noise or mess. He can also tip a dish of water (heavier than himself) by lifting one end until gravity takes care of the water. Maybe he a scientist in disguise with his gravity tests. As for daring, he excels at picking on tiny dogs.

All I can say is at least my boy can lift heavy things.

Great post! Poor Peanut...Pretty and strong...but not too much upstairs, lol!

Angiewe all have special talents it's just a matter of finding out what they are. Peanut is strong like bull and one day when you are least expecting it you will see him open the barrell. Maybe like you told me when we discussed Nelly talking...he might be doing when you are not around. Doesn't want to appear to intellectual and make others feel bad

That cracks me up Diane, yip lets say he does not want to make them feel bad.

I'm positive that's it!!

That's it, he just wants to fit in!

Poor Peanut, all brawn, no brains

Yeah great post. Well at least you didnt put him on the Special Needs thread!

Poor guy I think his ears are ringing!

Maybe his ears are ringing, I would never say this is his hearing, he is my absolute best birdie To know him is to love him.
