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.

Thank goodness my cats don't talk, I get enough whining out of my teenage daughter. They'd be lining up to tell what the other cats did while we were out of the house.

ROFL! The people down the road from me have five, yes five, Jack Russell Terrier's.

My dog is weirder than your dog, and that includes everyone's dog.

Here's a parrot story that was on FR about two years ago:

Parrot


A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.


John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked.

Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And, the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer.


For a few minutes, John heard the bird squawk and kick and scream... then suddenly there was quiet. Not a peep for over a minute.


Fearing that he’d hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arm and said, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything to correct my poor behavior.”


John was astonished at the bird’s change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, “May I ask what the chicken did?”

If I had 4 more dogs like mine, I would need to be on a sedative IV drip.

I love my dog, but sometimes his energy level is a bit overwhelming.
He turned 5 years old this week and shows no sign of slowing down!
