Bec Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hey all, I was bored at work one day and my co-worker and I were fish gazing when I made the comment that I ought to teach him to do tricks so he was more entertaining. My co-worker laughed at me ... "is that a challenge" I say? Well it was on. After two weeks of gentle coaxing Priscilla now jumps for his food (in fact he just about leaves teeth marks)! Needless to say we have an audience at feed time now, with multiple gov. workers racing with their morning coffee to watch the show. I will be taking him home next week as I've got some time off so will try and tape the show... Bec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
