Boomer's adjusting

Everytime we talk to someone from home (I still think of Idaho as home), they ask how Boomer is doing. Well, he is finally settling down. At first I think he thought we were just on vacation, and he was quite restless, but he has finally realized that we are here for good. He has become quite attached to me, and he can't stand it if I go out of the room. So if I am in the bedroom, he turns his head upside down to see under the door. Then he walks along with the top of his head on the floor. It is really quite amusing. He likes to sit on his Manzanita perch and look out the window. He has learned a few new bird sounds, and some birds come right up to the patio window to look at him.

He has made some new friends. We had some people over for drinks one day, and Susan had never had a bird sit on her shoulder, so she gave it a try. Boomer was very good with her. Then Scott our neighbor down the street wanted to hold him--thankfully, no lost digits.

He even got to go to a party at Shirley and Cliff's house. Where he was the star of the show even though there were four scottie dogs there also. Shirley and Cliff's little Scottie is named Mac, and he loves Boomer.
