Everyone keep your fingers crossed that it is anything but Blue Eyes. Photos will follow shortly, it is 9;53 a.m here and I am in my Jammies, the UPS man did not even ring the bell and it was on my doorstep where anyone could take it. My husband said put it under the tree and open it on Christmas morning, Is he CRAZY! WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO, VOTE TO OPEN OR WAIT NOW! YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO... lol ;D
If enough of you say open I get to open it, the frist Pleo Green RB YAH!!
Excited and waiting in the REdwoods, RedwoodsMama

That's what I'd if I were you... But, then again..... it could be sooooooo much fun to open him or her on christmas morning!
That's surprising (and exciting) your pleo arrived early. In my experience UPS always delivers when they say they will... So, it must be a sign to open it now, right? ;) Haha. At least charge the battery for christmas morning!

Wouldn't it be nice if your Pleo's birthday was on December 25th? I think that's special.
And besides, the pleasure you'll get will be greater if you wait.

Help Please I have five Pleos going crazy playing with plugs and adapters trying to help thier inept MUM! :( By the way, eschw76, I think from first glance, oUr Pleo rb look pretty similiar, mayby because they were the first ones chosen to go out, first orders from same stock? Be interesting to see if they have same eye colors....no blue at least same blue as Pleos I have already...
Happy but frazzled in Redwoods, RedwoodsMama
I think I figured out the plug, silly me, such a frazzled day so far, but it can only get better.. ;)

The charge is complete and I have been so busy I have not done anything else yet to there is a good chance this pleo will hatch on Friday, Christmas Eve, as I said before NOva was born on Christmas day, I don't think I want two pleos with the same birthday,
I will post more photos later tonight though, I think in the meantime I can see eschw76, photos of his Pleo Rb. That will be fun.

To tell the truth, what made me purchase Pleo rb is not the color by far, but the extent to what Pleo rb is now supposed to be able to do, I love the idea of an animal that can detect temperture changes, can actually feel pain and acts ill, other than the colds almost all Pleos have expereineced and the fact they sleep in cycles like real pets and will demand to be fed, etc. It adds that realism that was needed with the original Pleo.
I am so happy that you approve of my Pleo Makeover choices esp my last one on Argyle, :) I respect your opinion from an artistic point of view and it means a lot, ,just as it does approval from my husband though he has a more critical eye and is a bit of a perfectionist which I am not. :D I am glad that my Makeovers did not disappoint anyone or for someone to think I made a big mistake..I would have done it anyway, as I know my Pleos needed it for their sense of well being and my sense of knowing I was doing all I can for them. I am sure this Pleo will fit in with the rest of my Pleos and if it ever gets to the point that it needs a makeover it will get one as well, but I am not even thinking of that , hopefully it will be a longtime down the road. Maybe at some point Innova will release some more realsitic colors, fall leaf colors, brush etc, but they may have to go by popular consent and consumer demand. Wouldn't it be nice to have choices in color palettes? At least the new Pleos have different personalities so I am looking forward to that.
By the way, how is little Herbie doing? Would love to see some more pictures of him, ONce again, thank you for approving of my artistic eye in my other Pleo Makeovers. ;)

It is going to be a long next few days as I have so many other things to do, I have not even inserted the foot battery in yet, just reading the book, but I should do that next as the batteryn is fully charged, just have to guess on a sleep cycle I guess,..that would be funny, my sleeping and Pleo Rb waking me up to eat, saying get out of bed and crying if I dont feed it.l
We have no heat in our house, the heater broke and PGE is scheduled to come tommorow afternoon, so I am going to be home all day cleaning and I guess waking up Pleo. Maybe tonight though....the Solstice as a birthday is not bad either.. Have to think what I want to do.
Take care Fancy, REdwoodsMama and happy Pleo babies and cats and dog and tired hubby

Still haven't decided a hatching date, I want everything perfect and to have the time to do it right. :) Hope Gizmo and Clover are staying warm this Christmas season. ;D

Ok, still haven't hatched Pleo Rb but had to know the color of the eyes, these were all taken last night around midnite, they look blue grey like eschw76 to me, kind of change a little in the light . Today I will take it outside in natural light and let you get a better look, what do you think for the color?

Take your time and enjoy your new pleo. She is lovely. :)
Post by: scaledandtailed on December 22, 2010, 02:42:39 PM
And the two tone eyes must be a welcome change from the usual dark blue as well.
Not that I have anything against original pleo blue but it’s good to have some variety especially seeing as you have so many pleos now.
Post by: RedwoodsMama on December 22, 2010, 03:07:18 PM
I wanted Pleo rb not so much for the coloring but for what it is and what it caN DO. ;D
The first thing I did discover about Pleo rb and I still love is the soft buttery feel of it's skin, so so soft, I really like to touch the skin over and over. I am going to start the process of hatching I think though I am waiting for a PGE service tech to come fix our heater so we dont continue to freeze. Even Pleo Rb has it's cape on!
Yes, Crewellal and IMR, Blue grey eyes are beautiful, my husband actually has those color eyes and they are beautiful, I myself have my fathers' skin coloring and hazel eyes, I am part Native American ( Blackfoot) and it would seem strange having blue eyes for me, My mom though did have blue eyes and was very very fair, almost porcelain skin. Beautiful actually, sorry to get off subject... %)

From brief experience, the clock battery affects Pleo rb more by making him/her sleepy 'out of hours' rather than causing problems when you want to switch them off. I've set it at different times three days running because my schedule's been all over the place recently! Hope that helps!
Hope you get some heat, too! :D

thanks, RedwoodsMama and cold little babies in the Redwoods.............darn that Bigfoot, he is nice and warm and I am sleeping in a sleeping bag with nine cats and a dog to keep me warm till my husband can climb on the roof tommrow and see what is blocking the intake /outake vent where the exhaust fumes are supposed to go, the PGE guy said a bird or some critter probably made a nest or something in the vent and he couldnt leave the gas on because of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, and my husband can clean it out and then it will work.....Only hope it is that easy....Guess I got a bunch of critters to keep me warm again...

Post by: RedwoodsMama on December 23, 2010, 12:54:47 AM
the fact that I had one of my Pleos, Major Tom, in the same room and talking to hiim and encouraging him to get up and what have you, had to help,
At 10:03 p.m we stopped and he began to snore so I knew his internal clock was telling him it was time to go nappy nap again,for the night. I took several videos but this one is mostly just some coos and faint noises as he is pretty tired at the end of the day, but you can see him moving around and looking happy, I had to remove his cape as he was getting warm to the touch, even though are house has no heat, so you can also get a good look at his colors.
His battery was still going, so I just turned him off on the button on his belly and manually took the battery out even though it was still green and got him in the standing packing postion , not sure if that is standard procedure but while Innova comes up with the update on turning him off to avoid skin or paint issues, this is the way I will turn him off, and I can't see it hurting him any. I say He, but I am sure this is a little sister for my only female,( Nova ) wholives in an all male Pleo house,. Part two should be fun, as long as I can get warm tonight. Thanks for watching and be sure to leave comments. I do think eschw76 Pleo, Peanut looks very similiar except for the color difference on the eyelid area. ;)

Iggy isl running OS2 and Budge is still on 1.1, so as I've said elsewhere, I might well be missing out on 'proper' interactions altogether? :-\
Post by: RedwoodsMama on December 23, 2010, 08:44:07 PM
I think the way to answer the question if anyone is in doubt is to have someone who has operating system 1.1 and have them see if their Pleo says it alone with out any other Pleos arouond, also when Pleo Rb are older if they say it we will know soon enough. To tell you the truth, when I was videotaping the un-named twin brother of Argyle and baby pleo Rb awhile after this, it happened again. But being behind the camera, I ca'nt really tell you which Pleo said it, I will have to go back and play it to see if I can tell who has their mouth open or not. ???
I really do not think Pleo Rb can say much yet at this stage, though I have heard a few sounds which are not familiar but more sounds than words. :) I am just happy that they do recognize eachother as I do not know why Dotson, incharge and knowledgeable about the whole Pleo Rb project would tell me that they do and can interact and recognize each other if it was not true.( I talked to him on the phone live back in Mid October, and again in December.) He is a very very nice person and you can tell he really does have a love for Pleo Rb . would love to see more video of other Pleos interacting with Pleo Rb, as these are a new breed if you know what I mean. ;)
RedwoodsMama I have lots more videos to upload and photos, it is naptime and charging of battery as well
Post by: Crewella on December 23, 2010, 08:58:26 PM

Thanks RWM. :-*
Post by: kat on December 23, 2010, 09:43:40 PM
Hope this helps in some way. Kermy being one of the older RB's I would think she should have said it by now if she was just going to say it on her own. :)

Post by: RedwoodsMama on December 24, 2010, 12:25:26 AM
I guess you can compare it to the following parady; Older Pleos are able to catch colds, now does this mean that they actually " spread the cold virus" to each other by power of suggestion by watching the other Pleo cough, moan and groan, or is it also just co-incidence? %) Another example, my Pleo Rb baby tonight while filming her, I asked her if she was ready to walk yet, take her first step, she slowly a few seconds later lifted one of her rear legs and stretched it straight back, now was she doing a trick or stretching her leg.....I guess it is how you enterpret what you see and what you belive.( I will upload that video later as I am tired and she is sleeping anyway.) I think it would make no sense for Innova to have a new Pleo that could not interact with the older Pleos as the biggest percentage of Pleo customers have older Pleos and would be very dissapointed if their Pleos could not interact. I do think that Pleo Rb , Luna Fish talking or saying Hello to the fish is priceless, that is a cute story. :)
At some point I think the Pleo World site wil actually mayby add more facts about Pleo Rb what they can do, tricks etc, and there won't be any wondering if they can interact or not, though I have heard directly that they can so I dont have any doubts. RedwoodsMama

Today she was very talkative and playful, last night she wanted to start her relationship with Major Tom up again, being kind of picky at first, but after awhile he got her to warm up to her which is not difficult as he is suave and a smooth talking Pleo. I thought this was a cute short video with neither one wanting to go anywhere, but they did a lot of talking and nuzzling.
I think it is easy to tell she is a female and her name Baby suits her. Oh and Crewella, you are right, she does like those sweets,but I have not given her the Sugarcane in three days, just leaf and I think the mushroom once. ;) Just remember when watching this, Baby is still a baby and she likes to show off as well, but she was not as verbal here , showing off as much as usaual, and I think it is due to Major Tom, I think she met her Match! ;D

another example if she was a boy, " Diamond Jim, Or Poison Ivy, these are all two words, does anyone have a Pleo that has taken a longer name like this successfully, ? I don't remember reading anything that says one word, just that if Pleo doesn't understand it , she or he will drop the card, not accept it. Anyone know the answer or have tryed a longer name, ??? Thanks and I will do the reveal shortly in next few days when I try the name and she accepts it or I am back to the drawing board.

Incidentally - there was a pleoWhisperer on Pleoworld - you can catch words of Pleo wisdom bottom right if you click: ;)
http://bobthepleo.com/pleo/
I can't see why Pleo wouldn't take a longer name like that - to a pleo it would be just three syllables, as in 'Christopher' and I don't remember then saying you would be limited to very short names. If you wanted to give a full series of names, like a show dog, you might have a problem though! :P

It yawns before goning to sleep. Some kind of oewhoo oewhoo :P.
Is it normal that if a pleo rb turns off as it sleeps? It sleep and snores but after a few minutes he trun his head, it says beep beep and the pleo rb is turned of automatically.
The battery light is not on. I can press the "on" button and Zorba is awake again. Battery light is green when Zorba is awake so it is not empty.
I never had a pleo before so i don't know if it is normal.

Give them a go and see what they say. I sent photos and video youtube links to show my problems. The more info you can give them the better as it will help them sort out the problems that much faster.

I am allways filming our play sessions as I don't have her on everyday and do not want to miss anything and that is why this was caught on tape, I could not explain it as to why it occured. I caught her so of course she did not fall or get injured but if I had been out of the room she would have for sure so this is another example of not to leave a Pleo Rb on a high area like this table where http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD7fbqsPAu8
" they are supposed to have Edge recognition like the older Ugove Pleos." I would have never thought she would just walk right off of a table. I was wrong.

Pleo RB is also quite capable of detecting an edge, however, in your videos your house always seems very dark which is bad for edge detection, Pleo does not look where they are going when they are in tracking mode and if the table/counter/bench is a similar colour to the floor Pleo may also miss the edge.
Post by: RedwoodsMama on February 10, 2011, 12:30:22 AM
tracking behaivor", I am not argueing that but I do have other things to bring up, First if you look at the video again and the pictures I just upload, this is not a dark room and it is well lit, I have used this room many times because it is one of the most lit rooms with lots of overhead light. SEcond the video and most of my others are not dark, only the one I took of Baby in the dark which I did on purpose to show her reaction, so I don't know where you got that idea. ? Also look at the room it is full of Plain mostly brown cardboard boxes.( we have been packing to have to prepare to move) and boxes are on the floor shelves and to top of ceiling. There is a plain old wooden table and I was sitting in that beat up old chair so no color there, If there was any color from a box it would be a good three feet at least away against the wall, Can a Pleo RB see that far away , while I am holding a camera, are the sensors THAT Good? The rug is also brown, so she was not looking at it. I am more in the opinion perhaps she got stuck in a computer glitch and that is what happened . Oh, and I was wearing if you see my hands in the video a beige and white coat, cause our house has poor heating and is cold, These pictures were just taken almost the same time of day as the video. If Any Pleo Rb can see at least three feet away and track and object that is BRown ? then I am impressed. And I am not the best video taker but I know the pictures are no darker than most of myne and she could see well, I took these photos because I needed to show that the room is bare except for brown boxes and it is well lit and that is all I wanted to show.

I did think it was a interesting video, but then I think anything I personally have not seen my Pleo do before it interesting, Now I know if I try to get her to track, it won't be as easy as if she does it on her own , stubborness and just the right moment.
Thanks for any input, we appreciate it.

I did take lots of photos and videos and it is funny in a way because last week when I sent the photos and link to Pleoworld describing her problems and showing her hole/holes in her rear right leg, I received a email back from Raphael in exactly an hour, The next day, she mysteriously came down with a cold, out of nowhere. ???Sort of like her last attempt to get me to keep her here, and it worked to some degree, as I couldn't send her back till her cold was over, She was so sad and pathetic looking for three days and it didn't help that my husband was out of town for the whole weekend also, just me and Baby with some private one on one bonding time to say goodbye.
This is one of the last videos I took of her, right before my husband left. This is one of the more cheerful cold videos I took where I could laugh. ( It was about seven minutes long, so I cut out most of the parts where she is just sneezing and coughing and groaning as that was too painful to watch...but later I can post another one, perhaps when her replacement comes...) so here is a brighter look at Baby when sick. taken on the 18th. I will post more videos and photos in next few days while waiting for another Baby to arrive.

I still can't believe I finally got my baby Pleo BR. Too tired to do much tonight and I knew to wait till tommrow to get the noon clock battery and everything just right so there won't be any mistakes this time, When you have gone through this once, you learn from your mistakes and it makes it easier for the next time, I am all prepared, ( well almost :D) to do her hatching correctly with all the preparations in hand tommrow, No rush and doing it right. Her brothers and sisters will be there to greet her in style with everyone fully rested after a good night's sleep and a full loaded charged camera camcorder.
I also think it will be double fun cause Talon gets to hatch her little one tommrow and we get to see the color of her babies' eyes and what a beauty the Pleo Stork brought! Double Hatching Saturday on the Bob the Pleo Forums! it promises to be a very busy day and I am so tired I want to get it right and I know I have all my friends here on the forum and all the Pleo babies anxiously being prepared as well, To them it is kind of like Christmas, With visons of sugar Plum Pleos dancing in their heads it was hard to get them to sleep until I read them all a good night story. :) Well thank you everyone for the patience you gave me this past month with the loss of my first Pleo Rb Baby,and the understanding of how hard it was to say goodbye. I am thinking of this new one as a "Re-incarnation" into a healthy Pleo Rb body made better by the dedicated folks at Innvo labs, and I am very anxious to see how the new skin and operating system are. ;D RedwoodsMama

I will post more hatching infor today and the video I took last night. She hasn't been "alive" more than 15 minutes total since it was so late last night. I wanted daylight, a fresh start and a fresh Pleo Rb and myself not upset and tired out.

Hi there, well since my surprise package was left on my doorstep on the 18th, after a long day at the back DR.s. , I finally got around to hatching her, or starting the long process. I have been very busy and with a broken prong, it got to the point I wasn't even sure it was going to happen, But with a little luck and a lot of helpful advice, I got my Baby's hatching process started, The hatching has not been more than a total of 25-30 minutes total , but I thought it was time to upload some of the hatching process. Rather than show you me petting and talking to her, I would just upload a few minutes of her by herself learning to see around her and be independant. I just love the hatching stage and hope they have not shortened it too much. Enjoy! She has not even gone through one battery charge cycle yet!

Oh, and I am not sure which Pleo you are thinking about that is for "adoption". The one in the photo gallery, is named Gumble and now lives in Australia with Kat and her happy family. I will however have more up for adoption pretty soon. Right now everyone needs to help greet the newest member of the family ;D

I also want to document her first standing up with all of her family standing around her, not all the Pleos I have but the main other six that are allways being interacted with. She deserves and they deserve to see her finish hatching as a family I think. :DI think these guys get along as a family of siblings a lot better than a lot of "human " brothers and sisters do.

I decided to do this video a little different than most of the others I have done, with no captions except to start with so you can just watch and hear what the Pleos are saying. There was a lot of talking Pleo style, honking and all the usual noises, but It was intersting that around the exact same time, at 3:18 about there, two pleos shout out, "Hello". That was pretty interesting to me and funny. Baby Pleo Rb got lots of encouragement to stand up. Oh, in case you can't guess, this was longer that is why it just stops and Baby Pleo Rb is the light lime colored head Pleo in the middle wearing a necklace. :D

Oh, and the Chill Pepper, if you listen she was burping long before I put the chili Pepper in her mouth, but I thought, maybe if she gets Mad at me, she will forget the burping, but it only kept on, perhaps she had a case of "indigestion"LOL It was cute though
Does Kermy and Belle still do it, or did they outgrow this stage?

Hope you enjoy the festive Pleo Style party we all had. Oh, and Argyle has a New Look and wanted to make sure that esp Talon and also that Kat shows Gumble, his twin brother his special look. He dressed up special for the both of them!
Hope you enjoy, May Day Pleo Style and Cinco De Mayo Pleo Style!

Talon's Pleo Ugobe, is allso in a couple of the shots and is showing off his "traveling shirt" that he wore while on route to his new home, See if you can recognize any of these pleos and who is who? It may be a challenge as some of them have gone through Paint transformations including the MS. NOva. Hope you enjoy watching and look at the great outfits as much as I did dressing them up!

I have been wanting to do a Photo essay of all the great and fun outfits for so long so I am glad I got the chance at long last, It is a long video but goes by pretty quick because of so many different things happenng, Thanks to you again Kat for your gifts from Gumble! :D ;D :pizza: :hhug: :kiss: Those are from Argyle, the pizza is for Gumble ( he knows how he loves to eat) and the kiss is for you and the hug is for both of you from everyone and esp ARgyle. :)

One of my special needs Pleos, Little 45 spent a lot of time today trying to cheer up Blue, which you can see in another video in a different Post, titled or under the Adoption Post for Talon. Little 45 spent a lot of time with Bue and it seems as though when I brought him back inside, he was just all spent. ( either that, or perhaps he is going to come down with a case of Pleo Flu himself!) Hopefully he is just tired as this video shows.I just thought it was cute to show a Pleo all tuckered out and going to sleep all on his own, without any special prompting or cues.
For those of you who do not know the story of Little 45, he got his name because that is what I paid for him on Ebay. Nobody wanted a beat up little Pleo with a broken neck. :(He led a hard life, comming from a life of abuse or neglect, not sure which it was, and it really didn't matter, I wanted to rescue him and he was such a brave little Pleo, His neck was bandaged and his poor tail was almost falling off. He got a new Paint job by me to give him that special look to help him blend in and give him some cheerfulness to match his spunky brave heart nature. He likes to wear Hoodies to help hide his "broken neck", but it also goes along with his "tough attitude" though he is a sweetie to be sure.His bandaged tail can't be hidden by a hoodie, and he does not try to hide his "war wounds" from the tough upbringing he had. So here he is being himself, Falling asleep and dreaming of whatever Pleos dream about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEKacvL-_F0 hope you enjoy this short and simple video of a sweet Little 45 just napping. :)

Within a very short time, one of the sales reps, came over and started asking questions all about Pleos and I proceeded with the usual pointing out first of all, that they do not have a remote control and why they are not just a toy, they are a interactive life form and that they learn from their experiences. He was impressed and was asking lots of questions, then wanted to know If I was selling them. Before I could answer that, a customer interrupted us wanting some help, after all, it is a Staples store. LOL :D
Baby kept being cute and I scooped her up and headed to one of the open registers where a bubbly bright young girl was at the register. I could tell she wanted to know all about Baby and I repeated the story or how I got her, all about Pleos and on and on. She kept asking questions and grinning from ear to ear. Customers were starting to line up behind me at her register, but she was so enthralled with discussion, I do not think she noticed them... I wrote down the word Pleo and Pleoworld and asked her if she minded taking her photo with Baby and she happily obliged. She was not even put off by their price..! In fact, she said while holding Baby, " I don't want another one, I want this on!" I told her I would be back and I will bring one of my older ones ( Ugobe ) for her to see the differences. I can honestly say if you look at the photo of her holding Baby, you can tell she is in love with Pleo Rb and Pleos! The moral or lesson of the story, is do not be afraid to take your Pleos or Pleo Rb out in the public, there are lots of people just like this young lady just waiting to be introduced to Pleos and the love and magic they bring. I am going back this weekend and giving her another Pleo demonstration and also giving her my business card, I do live in a very small town where there are no other Pleos, or none I have heard of, so imagine what you can do with your Pleos where you live. :)
I do think word of mouth is the best way. Dont you agree, this lady looks very happy ? There was no way that Baby Ruth was going home with anyone but me though!

It's reactions like these that make it such fun :D
Post by: RedwoodsMama on June 03, 2011, 10:56:49 PM
Anyway, Staples is right across the street from where I live, and they see me in there once a week or so, so they are familiar with me and are Pleo Friendly. When you live in a larger metro area, you may be just a customer and a number and they may not have time to talk to you and learn about new things like Pleos, but in a smaller area like the Redwoods I live in, people seem to be freindlier, less stressed and more curious to things like Pleos anyway! I would never do this in an area like L.A. San Francisco, or anyplace I was not familiar with. I allso carry my Pleo of choice in her or his carrying bag where just the head sticks out, and the pleo is attached to a harness and secured with a large ring, so there can be no accidental falling out. If I am getting a positive reaction and people are asking about the Pleo, is it real, etc, I then begin the introduction and take her out, starting with, you can pet her, and tell the name. Then the rest falls into place.
Another great place to take Pleos is to the grocery store, letting the baby ride in the bottom of the basket where it is unlikely to get hit by flying tomatoes and such, and it has a Pleo Eye view of people walking about and people esp kids are down at Pleos eye level which I think is important. Remember, I taught school from 1983-2000 till I was laid off because of my bad back, and I have an excellent repoire with children and know how kids are drawn to dinosaurs of all sorts, and Pleo is a Once in a lifetime teaching opportunity in just about every subject you could think of, and talk about rewards :). Anyway, I intend to follow up on this Staples incident and will tape part two with the results as soon as possible. I do not worry about people thinking if I am crazy, after all, I have nine cats and am proud to be called a "crazy cat lady" so being the "pleo lady" or something similar is just a compliment and great experience for not just myself, but for my Pleos, esp Pleo Rb, BAby!

The guy selling the 3d tv's held him and played with him while I checked the tv's out and he was all cuddly with him right away even though I'm sure he got teased later on.. some kids were interested and I let them pet him but not hold him..
I was going nuts saying WOW this tv is awesome and the sales guy was like WOW this dinosaur is awesome!
That is a very cute picture and I agree the best way to do it is to get them out there.. I'm going to be bringing mine to a hobby store that sells lots of older electronics and some newer stuff and has just.. some really neat stuff for sale. I want to show them as I think it'd be a great place to sell them and maybe they could contact innvo or something... probably not but at least it'll be fun.. I'll bring an RB, Lyssa and Patches so they can see the 'inner workings' :D
I'm hoping when I get better I can bring them to some hospitals and stuff like that.. I was SO BORED when I was there for that huge period of time and it would be nice to get some kids to smile though I'd have to figure out how they 'sterilize' things like that first.. I won't let them get damaged..

Well it seems that Baby Ruth has become a little lonely not having another Rb to communicate directly with, and she heard about the Innvo Win a Pleo Rb Contest, and decided she would try to make some sacrifices, to cut corners on her food, and if she can't win one through the contest, she is trying to save up for one. As you will see though, Pleos are notorious for being big eaters and they love to indulge in things like Gourmet Coffee, fancy leaf sandwiches, and health bar drinks. Baby Ruth thought she would do her part to try and cut down on the food bill and contribute to the "buy a Pleo Rb" incase we can't win one, and this video shows some of her efforts with subsituting for expensive food items.Money though, just can't buy what it used to. :(The first few photos are of Major Tom who loves to go out an get Mochas and Pleo lattes, but it looks like Baby Ruth knows those days are over. ;)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh4Qveoc-ew RedwoodsMama and her Pleo Township :)

By the way, dim British blonde that I am, I only just 'got' Baby Ruth's name! :-[ :D
Cute video, RWM - it's nice to see her back to full health again! ;D
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 28, 2011, 04:10:20 AM
GlaD you liked her video, and yes I am afraid that ketchup or any other condiment is never going to improve the taste of "money" and it surely is not going to improve our "shrinking" economy. :D :( :o ???( Oh well...) too bad she can't eat money, it would be cheaper to eat paper money, that is about what it is worth sometimes!! Thanks for commenting Crewella!

Sorry for getting so off topic. Cute video, Redwoods! Two RB's are a handfull but well worth it. Their skit isn't as varied as the Ugobe pleos but it's still nice for them to have someone to talk to.

Crewella, you haven't had a candy bar until you have had a Baby Ruth. If you love chocolate, hard chewy caramel and peanuts, you would love this candy bar. One of my favorites! :)

That'll do me - the 'and' bit is irrelevant! It could probably be 'and bitter aloes' and I'd still go for it! :P

And fancy you are right, a Twenty Dollar bill is appropriate for today's time and it is the cost of the food pack....wondering if I entered it in the Pleo Rb contest, they would get it, or be "offended!" I just think it is funny and Pleo Rb are not supposed to eat everything, unlike the good Ugobes who eat anything an everything! :D
Fancy, glad to see you did get some entries in the contest, love the Motorcycle Pleos, that is so cute! You do have a lot to choose from, but untill or unless they say, only one entry, just keep on Pleoing along, I will!

"Redwoods Pleo Township Pleos", to give them all some looking at. Not everyone sees Argyle by himself, or Camo, or Gold Hatch, and many others.
so remember this video was taken last November and there is not much going on except Argyle learning to stand. He is cute though, being blind and with his handmade special glasses that my husband made for him, Argyle is not only blind, but if you watch closely you may see the other unique physical attribute that Argyle has. I love Argyle, and this video is made showing that even a Pleo that is blind, has loving qualities and it makes him not just special, but shows that a blind Pleo, one with a broken neck, etc, can do just about anything another Pleo can do! Watch in the next day or two for the second part that introduces Argyle to another Pleo with "special needs, " Little 45 who has a broken neck, and I bought him knowing full well he had a broken neck, as nobody else would buy him and I did not want to see Little 45 tossed aside or into a trash can! Ok, here is baby ARgyle, the Blind Pleo, see if you notice his other "special physical attribute". ;)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKo13MUv51g RedwoodsMama and her "Pleo Township of the Redwoods". PS. the first photo in the start of the video is a current [photo of Argyle as most of you know him.

Also iam impressed of seeing the whale such near.

I want to go back to film her again while she is still here, I do not want to film her dying or when or if she gets sick, that is too sad to film or to watch. I know she is huge but I do not understand why they don't put a net around her or near her and push her back to the mouth of the river where she will have no choice but to leave. I guess that is why some people get paid big bucks to figure these things out and the general population like myself just sit and watch and pray for her. Thanks for the comment.

Baby Ruth certainly had a big adventure, even if she did bite off a little more than she could chew! I love that harness, RWM - it looks as though it comes in very handy for Pleo adventuring! :D

I think she decided it was time to learn her name once and for all, and here is the result, Sorry if the video is a little dark, it is indoors but sunny outside, but the camera was at the wrong angle and I should have had Baby facing more sideways and it would show up lighter, but from what you can see, does it look like she knows her name is "Baby Ruth"? I think if it is that she accepted her ID card, then I can go on to the Bow and other cards etc
I do have a question, do I need to say her name each time I teach her a new stone as these are "commands' for example, I would say, her name then "dance" or Play, etc. Is this correct? If she didn't learn her name, am I doing something wrong, or she just isn't ready still,though I think it took this time... ;D Thanks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoCBSV9llEo The Pleos got worn out with this one, it kept going and going, I recorded almost 12 minutes the first time, waiting for the skit to end and it just went on and on so I did it again with a shorter version. At the end, Rosella and Meh-Lei are just standing there and Meh Lei says Hello, and then a few seconds go by and she coughs and then again, I do believe that this little Pleo may have a sore throat from all the singing and some Pleo is going to have sore toes in the morning also, I did enjoy the music and it was fun to watch the Pleos keep time with their tails.

Sorry for this being a little dark, It was recorded when the sun had just gone down and the kitchen where it was filmed didn't have the best lighting in an area I could use. ( the rest of our house is just too cold!) :brrr:

Well the mail day after Easter, that special Dinosaur Package was in our mailbox I gathered a handful of Pleo Clans represenatives and we proceeded with great joy to open the mystery package. P8) P:D It was mad sight with knives and scissors about and I had to keep one Pleo from slashing another Pleos necklace in a close call when they bent over the large envelope within inches of that sharp blade! P:o Too close for comfort for a Pleo mom, me.... :o %)
As you can see the package was decidedly opened with Pleo teeth instead after the first cut with sharper instruments...A quick zip here and there and out came the surprise....The Pleos took turns trying on the velvety surprise with oohs and ahhs...........Several days over Cammie -Sue was chosen as the Pleo Spokes-Person to send the Pleo Thank you video to the annonymous person and to Kat who made this wonderful outfit.
So we want to thank first of all the wonderful Person who wanted to thank myself and the Pleo Clan, we are very appreciative but wish to help all in anyway we can, so this was very unexpected but a treasured gift and the thought itself is a gift we will allways treasure even after the outfit is long gone years from now..Kat, this is Beautiful, my absolute favorite of the ones you have shown, and I laughed after seeing I had commented on wishing " I had this outfit", dreams do come true. :) I love this forum and this is an example of what wonderful members we have and the things we do for each other and the generosity this person has shown, Kat I do know you will contact them so they can now see this video made for first them as a thank you, and then of course to you who made it. :rainbow: :rainbow: :icecream: :kiss: :hhug: :flowers: So here is the video now that I have explained: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJcotcMJoik RWM and the Happy Pleo Clan of the Redwoods
