Bird Dancing on a Dog's Tail

Tweet

One of our daughters has always had the most incredible luck (or talent) choosing pets. When she was a child, she picked out my husband's Brittany Spaniel bird hunting dog. She also brought home a wild, feral cat a year or two later. Then, as a teen, she bought a cockatiel bird. Within a year, she could get the bird hunting dog to lay on the floor of her room, lay the ferral cat on top of it, and then let the bird walk on them both! By the way, the lower edge of the painting in the upper left-hand corner is one she did. She is an artist and spent two years at the Art Institute before changing directions and becoming a teacher. It looks like she is now teaching her Belgium sheepdog and parakeet the same trick! I guess she just needs to find another feral cat to make the trick complete. LOL She also owned many other pets over the years, including a hunter-jumper show horse, other cats, a milk snake, mice, and a frog. She's quite an animal lover. As an adult, she is now a Special Education teacher for mentally disturbed children, and she is raising two terrific teenage children of her own. I think her patience with animals has also made her a good mother and teacher of mentally disturbed children.
