i like mellow parks

my people took me to esprit park today to hang out.  i like esprit park because it is a bit undiscovered and is still chill on the weekends.  they even did a renovation last year and the park has a nice trail around it for my people.

sometimes the other parks are a little too crazy on the weekend, especially if it is hot.  don’t get me wrong, i love the people, frisbees, balls and all of the dogs.  it’s just that it can be overwhelming sometimes when i am in the mood to hang out.  so i highly recommend esprit park.

or do i? maybe i shouldn’t tell as it is my secret hideaway park, but i can’t resist.

birds love to dance.

well, at least this one does. i just realized that i talk about dancing quite a bit. that is because on any given day, i will dance at least a couple of times. i dance when i get out of my cage. i dance on my dog. i dance on my people’s heads. i dance when i am waiting for them to give me my food.

i am a fool for dancing. or maybe a dancing fool.

update: check out more dancing and fun friends at this week’s edition of friday ark.

do dogs and birds go together?

do we get along?

people always seem surprised to know that egbert and i are good pals. i have known her since i was a few weeks old, and it never occurred to me that birds and dogs might not go together.

in fact, once when i was little, i flew off looking for a bit of adventure and couldn’t find my way home. all of the buildings looked the same, and i had never been out without my people and egbert. i finally saw the dog park a block away and flew there hoping to find them. i landed on dog after dog and egbert wasn’t there. some of the dogs seemed surprised. some of them were very mean to me. luckily a neighbor called animal care and control and they came to pick me up. eventually, my people and egbert came to get me.

egbert has nice fur. i like to land on her back and dance around. her fur is very cushiony under my toes. if i can keep my balance, she will walk around and give me a ride. if she is laying down, i just dance in front of her and peck at her toes. it never seems to make her get up and give me a ride. that’s okay. i just take things as they go.

i am glad that egbert and i have each other. it’s nice not to be alone when our people go out. egbert gets to go with them much more than i do, especially since i tried to go on my own adventures a couple of times. it does give me a bit of alone time, but i am always happy to hear the jingle of her tags. even if i am in my cage and egbert is across the room, we still talk to each other and it makes it less lonely when the people are gone.

so yes, i can definitely say, birds and dogs do go together.
