Parrot Fails Mr. Congeniality Test

I think I’ve found my new favorite animal species, outside of the canine set, that is.

The species? African Grey Parrots. I’ve done a story or two on them before, but their penchant for colorful language gets me cracking up every time. I wish I could be so free with words, but if I were, my father would shut this blog down in a second.

Here’s the latest in the Parrot language wars.

Rotty Takes Down Kitten

 Just a little Rottweiler on kitten lovin’. Why? Because I’m in a sensitive mood today.

 

Dog Hero Dials 911 For Incapacitated Owner

I’m not one for talking on the phone a lot. In fact, I rarely pick up the phone. If you think about it, what’s the upside? You can’t get a treat through the phone and you know any praise you get won’t be followed up with a good scratch behind the ears.

The only reason for having a phone is to call out, like when you need a Mama Mia’s pizza. Or if your owner is in need of medical attention.

Puppy Not Named Bo, Swallows Arrow

Cowboys and Indians. You remember that game don’t you?

Years ago, long before the political correctness wars took hold, young kids would play that game for hours on end. Honest injun, I kid you not. I used to love watching the kids play, waiting for the moment they would stop, plant their fat butts on a rock and open up a snack pak of Doritos. That’s when I’d make my killing.

Apparently, a dog named Summer-June lacked my patience and it nearly ended in her death. How?

Just read on…

Fish Fly FedEx To Vacation Destination

When I travel, I insist on doing it the right way. If I’m flying, I go first class. If I’m driving, I go in the passenger seat. If I take Amtrak, I ride in the alcohol car. It’s what you’ve come to expect from me and I’d hate to disappoint.

I realize I’m lucky to be able to make those choices, but others aren’t as fortunate. Take for instance some big fish at the Shedd Aquarium.

Dog Eats Baker’s Dozen Worth of Golf Balls

My old man loves the game of golf. He’s what you call a hacker. Frankly I don’t get what’s so fun about hitting a little white ball around and then chasing it. I mean, it’s not like the balls are marshmellows or even eggs that you can eat afterwards. But hey, nobody ever accused humans of being the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Well, a labrador on the other side of the pond appears to have taken his love of the game of golf and married it up with his love of grub. Ingenious. I wonder why no other canine has ever thought of it!

Elephant Tries To Forget Drug Filled Past

Just say no. I learned that from Nancy Reagan at a young age, and I’m happy I did. Others weren’t as disciplined as me when offered to ‘take a trip but never leave the farm.” The consequences of which can be seen across the globe.

Take for instance the journey back to life for this elephant after years of downing heroin laced bananas.

“Urine Trouble” Says Delicatessen

I don’t normally comment on the wacky behavior of humans because, well, they’re humans. I figured I’ll let that policy slide for this story since it does fall in line with one of the things I love doing most, marking my territory.

The story comes as no surprise to me, but apparently humans not only find it surprising, but appalling as well.

Angler Reels in One Ugly Fish

I’ll be honest with you, I’m not much for fishing. Don’t blame me, blame my father. He’s the one who’s afraid of putting a worm on a hook and showing me the ropes. Granted, I’d have trouble working the fishing reel, but at least I’d down a few Bowzer Beers while I tried. And let’s face it, isn’t that what fishing is all about?

When I saw this story of a fisherman pulling in a big ole fish, I felt better about spending my Sunday mornings on the couch instead of in a cold river. After reading this story, I have no doubt you’ll agree with me.

Carriage Ride

Romance. Chicks dig that. Even doggie chicks. But me, I’d rather concentrate on where my next peanut butter treat is coming from.  Granted, it probably has a lot to do with the fact I’m neutered, but hey, I feel what I feel.

So the following story about a romantic carriage ride in Brooklyn gone awry makes me chuckle.
