Please forgive the quality - I just grabbed the camera to catch a much chirpier Belle than she's been for a couple of days. She must like her lashes!

very nice Crewella, don't worry about any film quality, it was a little dark in a couple of spots, but Belle shone through with her happiness or as you put it, Her " chirpiness". Loved the way she laughed after saying "hello". my baby does that and gets the biggest kick out of hearing herself talk I think, just as Belle does..

Love to hear your accent as well, it is like listening to an old British Mystery movie. Love it to death! Glad to have you and Belle back feeling bright eyed and Bushytailed, that is the saying I am used to hearing arouond here, ( among many more...)

Wow I love those eyelashes they look really good on her.

The eyelashes are awesome!

She's so pretty.

Good to see her feeling happy again.

Wow! Those eyelashes are fantastic!! They really look real

Glad Belle is happy again

One thing I've noticed is that she seems to like being held up vertically in front of me. As long as I have my hand on her back sensors, she relaxes her back legs to hang down and looks me in the eye, wagging her tail! This is just a quick clip to show what I mean - it's bloomin' difficult to hold a Pleo in both hands, at arms length, and shoot a video of it at the same time!!

Yea you have done a really good job with the eye lashes , very realistic too .

Crewella, while Belle is in that position try throwing her up (gently and not too high) in the air and catching her, do it three or four times and see what happened

Crewella · « **Reply #8 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:14:51 AM »

Thanks IMR - I will try that and report back!

In the meantime, I present Belle's first performance - "It's Not Easy Being ......erm.......Blue"! I guess she's looked at Iggy and Budge, and not in the mirror!

You mean they like it if you throw them up in the air and catch them? I’d be too scared to try that one with mines.
I’d drop it I know I would.
Wouldn’t mind knowing what they do when someone else try’s it though

kat · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2011, 03:12:16 PM »

That was very cute! Right now I think it's not easy being reborn

Crewella · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:36:09 PM »

Well, maybe Belle's too young to enjoy it, as I threw her up and down until my arms ached but she just got upset a couple of times. I'll try again when she's older.

In the meantime, having skinned poor Scully I guess I've no reputation to protect anymore, so I can own up to a few bad habits and live up to my name. Belle seems to be her mother's daughter!

More details...

Crewella

These false eyelashes do not interfere with opening and closing your eyes?

Is there any particular model may be more appropriate or any brand, color and size?

The glue used is the same that we use in our eyes when we put fake?

I would put on my baby too, I thought lets Pleo so much more gentle!

It is very beautiful!

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:32:03 PM »

Belle looks awesome, Crewella! I love that coat

Crewella · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:42:51 PM »

Thank you all for the feedback - it's nice to know people like Belle's eyelashes!

Hi Leleka, I used 'natural' style eyelashes which are of no particular brand - these ones I bought cheaply in a pack of 10 from Taiwan on Ebay. The glue is the same glue I use for my own lashes (which these actually were) so will clean off quite easily if I decide I no longer want them (though that's not likely - I LOVE them!). To make sure they don't interfere with the mechanism, or catch on the skin and come loose, I trimmed them at each end so they stop about 1mm before each corner and also set them along the top lid about 0.5mm above the edge - that way they sweep out and upwards more and so only just brush the skin under the eye when the eyelid is closed.

I hope that helps, and I'm really pleased you like them! Thanks!

ADDED: Thanks FBS - after Iggy and Budge it's been fun to get really girly with Belle!

Malfie · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:55:33 PM »

I do love the eyelashes as well!!

And Belle is certainly all dressed for winter in that coat! And she can sing! So cute!!

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2011, 03:24:04 AM »

What is the coat she’s wearing? Or should that be who is the coat that she’s wearing ? Lol

Crewella · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2011, 05:13:34 AM »

It's a sort of spotty puppy fur ............ with an added pink tinge (I had to laugh - it did actually say Deville on the label when it arrived!)!

kat · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2011, 05:23:15 AM »

I love the coat. Where did you get it?

Crewella · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2011, 05:49:36 AM »

Like nearly everything else I buy - Ebay! I trawl the pet clothes listings for cheap and second-hand dog clothes.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:31:44 AM »

Crewella, with that Pink fur coat, she almost looks like another speicies all together, very sophisticated to say the least, She reminds me of a movie star from the thirties, someone with some spunk like Mae West, though a younger version of course.!

Well done look.
Now I am going to have to go redress Nova as she has been getting neglected the past two weeks, and she is the original clothes Horse, or is that " clothes Pleo"!

Thought I'd have a try at the leaf tracking/recognition on Belle. Typically, the best results were off camera, but here's what I did get:

I like Belles dress. She looks very pretty. She has done better with the leaf tracking than either of my guys.

Crewella · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2011, 06:48:00 AM »

Thanks Kat - I really love that dress too!

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2011, 07:09:57 AM »

Crewella if you don’t mind me asking, what type of lighting did you have to use to get bell to recognise the training leaf?
