COLGATE, Wis. -- You've all heard of man's best friend, but what about bird's best friend?
Tango, an African parrot, escaped from her Colgate home last week. She spent several cold nights lost, until spotting her friend Bodie the St. Bernard, walking along.
From up in a tree, Tango called out Bodie's name. Their owner saw the bird, rescued her, and took her home to his wife. "All of a sudden, I heard Tango say, 'What you doing?' I went running out. He (the husband) had found her (while) rollerblading up in the subdivision. So he had taken off his roller blades and ran back in his socks with her and Bodie," Angie Keckeisen said.
Angie Keckeisen said it was the best Mother's Day present she ever had.

I think the world would be much more interesting if dogs could talk instead of birds.
To: Rodney King
Why in the world would you want some dog babbling about what your backside smelled like?
To: Rodney King
'What you doing?' The Dog usually dialogs with the parrot, but normally starts the conversation with..."HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN"

I think the world would be much more interesting if dogs could talk instead of birds. "I want a steak. A steak would go down really good about now. How 'bout a steak. Is there a steak in there? How 'bout a steak....."

I think the world would be much more interesting if dogs could talk instead of birds. Are you kidding? If dogs could talk, think of the stories they could tell about us. They could make a killing in the blackmailing business....and yes, we would be forced to pay!

You must be joking. There's a reason dogs are called "man's best friend."

I think the world would be much more interesting if dogs could talk instead of birds. Hildebeast, Helen Thomas, Janet Reno, Barbara Boxer, etc. etc. etc. can all talk. I wish they couldn't.

He (the husband) had found her (while) rollerblading up in the subdivision Thanks for the added missing words. I thought the parrot had been rollerblading.

Thanks goodness dogs DONT talk. Oh I don't know, at least you could know when they wanted a treat rather than they needed to go out to pee. The latter dictates getting up from the computer, the former would not unless you felt it appropriate. But our older dog uses the same non-verbal signals for both.

Does everyone's dog constantly stare at you while you eat.
Does anyone have a dog that is even sometimes uninterested in food? (except when they're sick)
Ive often wondered just how much my two dogs would eat if given the chance to have all the food they wanted.

It's possible they could take over the world!

A dog is man's best friend.
A diamond is a girl's best friend.
Wanna guess which sex made up these rules? ;->
