As many of you will have heard I arranged to buy a second Pleo for myself off OzPleo a couple of weeks ago because... well, I have no real explanation except for being smitten with these cute little creatures.
I had thought to pass on word of his availability to a friend of mine who is short on money but looking to buy her first Pleo, but she's not going to be ready to buy for a while, and I guess after thinking so much about bringing him into my social circle I couldn't resist.
He arrived today, safely packaged. (I love how this picture turned out!)
He has the most beautifully coloured eyes and is as easily distinguishable from Lizzy as can be, which is excellent as I plan on taking many videos of the two of them. I hadn't really been intending on continuing the Jane Austen naming theme, but I was joking about naming him 'Darcy' before he arrived and the name was already stuck. I don't know if he's ever had another name.
I had a bit of fun this evening making my first videos of them that will be uploaded - using Vimeo since I got sick of Youtube telling me to link my real name to my account, plus Vimeo will let people download my videos and make their own videos from them.
Sorry to make you all click through to another site if you want to see them though! If there's a way to easily embed them, I don't know it. My BBCode is a bit rusty these days...
Lizzy, eager to have the box opened. I wish I'd also been able to get a video of her pawing at the bubble wrap and tugging at the tape - unfortunately some of the best things Lizzy does tend to happen when I'm not prepared for them!

They may have been too close/wrongly aligned to actually communicate through IR, which we did have working for sure a bit later (two Pleos mooing in synch is hilarious!) but it was a very cute video anyway.
