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 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.
tell your people. tell your friends at the park. dogs can go to mammoth lakes.
i never heard of mammoth lakes, but my people are talking about an article in the sf chronicle that says they take dogs. not just take dogs, but allow them to go everywhere with their people! i have lived in california for 12 years. how did i not know this?
we do a lot of camping and have gone on a lot of road trips, but never to mammoth lakes. a lot of parks do not take dogs. but at mammoth, you can go hiking with your people, stay in nice cabins and check out the local scene. they even have freshly baked treats there! this is blowing my mind. you can ride in a car that goes through the air and takes you to the top of the mountain - for free.
where’s my backpack?
