There has been an ongoing interest in Squeezy lately. In particular, the little children - Oscar, Posey and Milan. When I picked Squeezy up in a towel, he was a little bit overwhelmed so I held on to him to begin with, while the children crowded around. Jaz had dashed off to get leaves from the garden. Oscar was standing directly in front of him, yet he seemed to want to get closer and closer. He kept reaching over to pat his head, and I showed him how to gently pat behind his ears and down his back. Oscar squeled with excitement each time he touched Squeezy or if Squeezy sniffed towards him.
Poesy has also been showing an interest lately. Before we picked him up in the towel, we went on a 'Squeezy Hunt'. We held hands walking up the hill and around the playground, looking through the trees and bushes. We were calling out 'Squeesy, SQUEESY!' Poesy is learning to say "Squeezy" and it's coming across clearer and clearer the more she says it.
The children really enjoy having a little pet animal to look after at KIDSPACE. Squeezy doesn't mind being held, and especially likes being hand fed by the children.
