An Office Party

I was in Atlanta, Georgia last week for a conference, so M was home alone with Foehn and CB. Since she prefers not to use the tent because it is hard for her to sit in it for too long, she spent time with the gliders in my office, With the office door closed and a blanket on the floor, she let the roam and explore out of the cage. They seemed to really enjoy the "wide open spaces", as opposed to the confines of the tent. They especially like climbing on the outside of the cage and then jumping on to M, and then back to the cage. I;m still a little nervous about them loose in the office because there are places they can get to that we can't, but since they have explored most of it they seem to be staying near the cage and near us. I joined them om the office last weekend after my return from Atlanta, but both Foehn and CM seemed a little skittish around me which was disappointing. However, the last couple of nights of time in the tent seems to have taken care of that. M had them out this evening for a bit and Foehn was jumping to both of us (and from one to the other, as a matter of fact). CB crawled into M's shirt and made himself comfortable there. After a while we got them back into the pouch where they settled down to sleep for a few hours before tent time. We had a good session tonight. Both of them were very active and jumping from me to the tent and back for the better part of an hour. CB found my shirt pocket for the first time and made himself comfortable there a couple of times. They are now back in their cage, and someone is running in the wheel. The only light in the office is from the glow from the screen, so I can't tell who is in the wheel. It's probably Foehn, as CB usually takes a nap after having something to eat.
