[Clay's Pooka]

Well, I have been trying to handle them since I got them, and last night was interesting. I was holding Frank first, and he did some new things. First, he took food from my hand. I figured that he finally felt a little bit relaxed, but then he crawled under the blanket I had on my lap and cuddled in. I don't think he was really hiding, because he wasn't shaking or anything and he was still eating treats that I was giving him. But he sure wanted to be snuggled in the blanket! Is this normal? He was laying on his belly stretched out, not even standing so I figured he was relaxed.

Now, when I held Charlie, he wasn't interested in treats. He did kind of move around a bit in my lap rather than sit frozen, and he did stretch out and seem to relax. Then he did something that kind of scared me. He looked at me and ran up to my face and stuck his nose against my lip/cheek. I thought he was going to bite me, but then thats probably because it startled me. I was wearing a sweatshirt, so maybe he was going for the hood? Any thoughts are welcome.

By the way, the treats I mentioned were sprigs of parsley, not icky treats from the pet shop.
