Life of Pis

Two years ago today, Michelle came to visit me at the pet store for the last time.

It was for the last time because she brought a little carrier and took me home with her. Joe from the store gave her the toys from my cage there to help make the transition easier. It was nice of him to do so, but I was already bored with them. Michelle gave me new toys in addition to my regular ones. I liked exploring the new ones very much.

Here are some pictures from when I first came home. I stayed in the carrier in Michelle’s room while I was in quarantine.

I guess I was a little ragamuffin.

I wasn’t sure she would ever bring me home. She seemed to like me a whole lot from the very beginning, but it still took a little convincing.

When you go to live with a human, you never know how long it might take you to train them. There are some things I am certainly still working on with Michelle. But, she’s really come a long way in the last two years.

If I had to do it all over again, I’d still choose her. I just wish I could train her to take me to work with her, or to come home a few hours earlier each day. Does anyone out there have any tips on how to do that?

And, just so you know I’m not still a little ragamuffin, here is a picture of me today.
