For the current pets, all birds: One of the cockatiels: “I’m Sunny. I have a suicidal fascination with electrical cords.” Another cockatiel: “I’m Sydney. I poop on work clothes 5 minutes before you leave for work if given the chance”. The Conure: “When angry I will seduce you by looking sweet and cute and be all nice to you then BITE YOU REALLY F\*\*\*ING HARD!” ---

Why doesn’t my person appreciate all I do to keep her safe from the cats?” Cocoa - “Why can’t you pet me all the time?” Cats Ernesto - “That goddamn dog ruins everything. Except dinner. Is it dinner time?” Elliott - _sneezes and spews snot everywhere_ “Sorry, not sorry” ---

Coco the kitty-cat: “I have a problem with doors. I like to miaow near them, but when they’re opened for me, I suffer a sudden-onset dementia about what I’m meant to DO”. Or maybe I’m just a bitch who likes to watch my minions dance in the cold. ---

The dog - I like to beg for treats. Then when mom tries to give me one, I eye it suspiciously while backing away so that she almost falls off the couch trying to reach me. The cat - I’ll eat your food, drink your water, and let you clean my litter box; then I’ll hide when you walk in the room. ---

[Velcro](http://imgur.com/luhxJMl)says: “I love potato chips, especially Pringles. If anyone around me has them on their plate and lets their guard down, I will steal one and run into the bedroom with it to eat every bit, then sneak back in to try for another.” (one reason why chips are rarely in my house any more 🙂 ) ---
