Of course we ended up with the dog that won't bark and the bird that won't tweet. It's our family and that is just par for the course. Why would anything be normal in this house?
The dog (Ninja)
The bird (Azul)
You will never find these two in the same picture together. That is because when we "introduced" them, Ninja thought we bought the bird as a snack for her. She instantly tried to seize the bird thus putting their relationship in a very tenuous situation.
Since I have been the co-owner of The Bird, as I affectionally refer to it, for a week now, I feel as though I can speak with some authority. Technically The Bird is Bennett's. It sleeps in his room (in my house), in a cage (that I bought). He does all the feeding, playing and cleaning of it. In it's week of living with me, I have heard it tweet like 5 times only. What's up with that? It's a bird. That's how they're supposed to communicate.
Then there's Ninja. It would be better to describe her as a stuffed animal that just happens to be laying in the same room I'm in at all times. She expects me to read her mind (which I can). There are only two instances that would cause her to bark: 1. it is the weekend and she feels we are sleeping in too late and have forgotten about her 6am breakfast time or 2. she has sat at the back door for over an hour with out me sensing her need to go out. At one of those two times, she'll let out one demanding bark. Other than that, it's radio silence all the time.
What's next? A fish that won't swim?
