Something is Wrong with these Birds

Macy and Sammy,

I had a crazed bird land on my windowsill a few days ago. I kept beating on the window, but the stupid thing wouldn't fly away. It was hanging on for dear life and looking right at me. Very creepy. I don't know why this bird didn't understand that this is my window, my windowsill, my street, my grass, my house, my dog bed -- I guess you get the picture. The bird was an invader into my territory.

Anyway, I banged so hard on the glass that my mommy called my daddy and he went outside and picked up the bird and put it in a tree -- one of my trees!! They said it was a baby and couldn't fly. I don't care what it was. It was in my yard and looking at me in my window.

I wish someone would give me some pizza. I didn't get any and I didn't even hurt the little bird. You could say I made so much noise that my daddy rescued it and put it back in the tree. I think I should get a reward for that and pizza would be perfect.

I don't always understand these humans we live with!

Love,
Tina

Birds and Listening

Hi Tina,
We have been having some crazy days with birds. Yesterday, when we went out in our backyard, we chased a baby bird (that could barely fly) across our yard. Well, our daddy was out with us and when he saw us chase after the bird, he really yelled at us to stop. But we didn't. So while our daddy was pushing us away from the bird, our mommy came running out of the house and we got picked up and carried back in the house. We were told we were bad because we didn't stop when our daddy told us. So tonight, we were cruising around the birds perches that live in our house because they were eating pizza. We each got a few crumbs that they dropped but then our daddy called our names and boy did we run. We can go really fast when there is food for us. We got pizza!!! Yummy!!! Why didn't our daddy realize that if he had food when he told us to stop, we would come running.
Love
Macy and Sammy

You are lucky dogs

Sammy and Macy,

I don't like those big booms either and we have a lot of them where I live too. I never get a chicken stick, though. I just get to sit close to my mommy in her big chair. I stay hunkered down until things get quiet again. Sometimes, we have these bright flashes of light before the boom. I hate those, too, because I know the light means there will be a loud noise. Yikes! There goes one now. I wish someone would give me a chicken stick to take my mind off these boomers.

Chicken Sticks

Hi Tina,
We were so glad to hear from you. We know things were crazy at your house because we heard our mommy tell our daddy about your daddy. I hope he liked the card that I picked our for him. Anyway, things have been crazy at our house, too. Sammy has been getting scared every afternoon because there are big booms outside. My mommy calls them thunderstorms. Sammy gets so scared that he tries to hide in a dark corner, usually on the landing of the stairs going to the basement or in the bathroom down there. My mommy has spent hours just sitting and petting him and telling him it will be okay. I keep dropping my ball down the stairs to them and chasing after it - I need attention, too! Yesterday, I just went down and sat beside them and my mommy petted me, too. Finally, our daddy called the doctor about Sammy and he got medicine. It is a little, white, round thing that he gets in a chicken stick. I just watch and then I get some chicken stick without the round, white thing. So here's what I'm thinking - If your daddy has medicine that he takes in a chicken stick - maybe you can watch and get a chicken stick, too!
Love,
Macy

Have You Missed Me?

Macy and Sammy,

Things have been strange around my house for a while. That's why I haven't commented about your cheese pizzas. I hope you didn't think I was mad or jealous because you get to have pizza. I get pizza sometimes, too, but mostly the crust. I'll have to find a way to get some cheese because I love cheese.

My daddy went away for a few days and there was nothing good to eat at my house and no kitchen supervision to do. It was like the kitchen was closed. But, things are looking up. My daddy is back and the kitchen is humming again. Good smells and good eats. I just finished eating half of a hard-boiled egg. Yummo!
