To Bark Or Not To Bark

debra and craig,
ed and i are not convinced that we really have an african grey after all. we think that he is possibly some genetic freak of nature-half dog, half parrot. last week we had a repair man at the house to fix our roof. every time norbert saw the man pass by the window or heard him on the roof, he would start barking. he barks when the doorbell rings. he barks at the squirrels in the backyard. the neighbors heard him through the open windows and thought we bought a new dog.
norbert continues to boss around the other family pets and continues to increase his vocal repetoire. he recently started saying "you're so weird", "stupid fat hobbit" and "honey, i'm home". when he is not misbehaving (sometimes he gets an attitude) he makes us laugh with his antics. he still hates water. i try to mist his feathers sometimes. he always tells me "stop" when i do.
take care. i have been enjoying the newsletters you send out on the e-mail. thanks. paula
