"Let me show you my stick-collection. Quite impressive, huh? I carried them home from my walks. I am mighty proud of them. Some are thick, others long. The soft ones are great. This one I nicked from a pall. Now what, you don't seem to like them. They are great, you can catch them, bury them, chew on them, ..." "Duvel, we don't play with sticks, we are birds. We might use them to build our...
The big boss just took me on one of his 10 km runs. This is serious business. He wants to run, I want to do my thing. Sniff around, check the trash cans, catch some sticks, dig a bit, you know, dogs stuff! We always have discussions about that. In the end he wins. He is the boss. So just a quick pee, and off we go. At least that is what he wants. I do not give in that easily... In the end we had...
"Now look at this!" The boss left something lying around. Nothing for her to be messy. But for me! The more, the better! Whooooopie, I love trashing paper! Tear, throw, eat, roll over. "Come on big bird, join in! Paper does not bite! Now what Funny Bird, are you tired already?" Pah, not me. I am a terrier, I can go on and on and on. Well the boss will love this. We even left her a paper trail...
"Now what is this Duvel? I see all kinds of animals, they look real, but they don't move?!" "Don't ask me. The boss seems to look at them all the time. But how am I supposed to know? She never tells me, so I nap while she rattles on that thing. Heee guys, behave, she gets really cross when I mess with her things! Come on, those pens are sacred items for her and don't play with the key rings, she...
Sunday morning jogging is one of our rituals. The boss takes me to the doggy-beach. Great! I can sniff around and play with my palls. Not when this picture was taken though. With all that misty stuff around nobody wants to go out this early. That's when I showed her that I can run "foot", if I want to. She even gave me one of the treats, she has in her pocket. Not today. I found myself a nice...
Guys, if you want to stay, go and make your own bed. You are birds, build a nest or something! This is my dogs-bed. I love my bed and I will not share it! Terriers have a very busy life, running around, playing and being naughty all the time. That's why I need my bed. No birds in my bed...
"You are strange birds! The birds on my beach are brown and black, you have too many colors! But the boss told me to wait and see. She wants me to learn to know you. Don't ask me why. I am a terrier, normally I chase birds. She said we could be friends and play, while she is working. Well, sometimes she is right, what have I got to lose, I am bored anyhow. Maybe you can teach me some naughty...
"We are the 3 birds. No, not from the song, although we do not worry about a thing. We are not brothers, we are a creation. They call me Funny Bird, the guy to my left is Big Bird, and the tiny one is Little Bird. Not very original, I must admit, but what's in a name?! That boss of yours might be an illustrator, but she is not a poet. Yes, I do have a big mouth, and some people think that is...
