I love my three toed. You all know that. But, thanks to Chris and Kari, I'm now going to train her to become just like Alex.
Yesterday, I went onto Hulu Plus and watched "How Smart Are Animals?"(Chris told me to), and I realized that if Alex had thirty whole years of experimentation, why not start working on a turtle?
I haven't actually gone to college, so I can't really get a grant, but I'll just keep on working till I graduate. Sara's only thirteen, she's still young.
We've made a lot of progress. she's been bumping windows, not falling off couches and many other things. I'll keep you posted every week on how we're doing. My goal is to train this turtle eight to twelve hours a day for thirty years, and then we'll know who's smarter - Alex or Lightning. Who do you think is going to win? Alex may be dead, but he's still got quite a following. Sara on the other hand, is a small town turtle with no public, except maybe the followers in my blog.
I think Sara's going to learn much more quickly than Alex but it may be hard to gauge since she isn't able to replicate human sounds.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true. It's a bit trying to work with what she can do, but we're pulling through.
