Going to the Dogs

May 18, 2008

in Life in General

We have 3 kinds of dogs at our house.

1) We have two dog dogs, Toby and Neffie. Toby's an American Farm Collie and Neffie is a Maremma, a type of Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD).

Neffie on the left, Toby to the right. They're walking
towards me from the back pasture in the early morning sunlight.

2) We have a cat dog named Spot. He's a big white cat that follows us around everywhere we go outside, and comes when you whistle for him.

This is Spot Fencewalker, our cat dog.

3) Then there's my Bird Dog. She's an African Grey Parrot, and loves to imitate the dogs outside when they start barking. Remember, she's imitating it just as she hears it, so it sounds a little strange.

The picture is rather dark as I didn't have any extra lighting,
but it's the sound effects that are important anyway.


We have a strange household, and a farm full of strange critters. We're definitely going to the dogs here.

Welcome to the Funny Farm!

As soon as the parrot barked two of my dogs snapped to attention and tilted their heads back and forth! It's a riot!

That's too funny! I played it in here, and the parrot kept tilting her head, then would bark back at herself, ha!

*sniff sniff* I love your parrot. We had a parrot when I was a child and I had a rescued cockatiel (Maurice) several years ago, but I found out I am allergic to birds! I wanted a Macaw more than anything.
