Imprinting is a powerful thing. You would be surprised by how many of the babies seem to remember me when we are reunited. They get very excited and trust me and the family very easily. Brian is seven months old in these pictures and is demonstrating another form of imprinting.

When I got Brian from Sandra, we brought him home and of course he stayed inside for a couple months. He wasn't crated during that time and was simply closed in our bathroom when we weren't home. For reason I cannot explain, he took to sleeping in the bath tub. We would put down towels and that became where he would go every evening regardless of whether the door to the bathroom was closed or not.

To this moment, when Brian gets sleepy and he is inside he will whine so that he can go into the bathroom. Sometimes he gets into the tub but he has gotten rather large and even though it is a garen tub, he doesn't fit as well as he used to. If I could just get him to stop eating the toilet paper...
