Please tell me I'm not the only one...

Who's house is sometimes a zoo!

Yesterday my son wanted a frozen pizza. Our smoke detectors are sensitive and wired together. I open the oven to take out his finished pizza and all the alarms start going off. So Titus (Boxer) does his "I'm going to eat you bark" and runs back and forth under the two closest alarms. Thor (Chihuahua) thinks someone must be here and starts barking and jumping on furniture to see out the front. Buzzy then starts his telephone ringing nonstop. Ziggy took a minute to catch on but started yelling "I'm gonna hurt it". Thankfully my son got a towel to fan at the smoke detector and it stopped.

So today. A squirrel ran past the back window. Thor sees it and starts barking and running between Windows. Ziggy just starts yelling. Titus is intrigued by Ziggy and goes and stands next to his cage and starts howling! Buzz gets in by yelling "shut up" and "quiet" at everyone....and then the phone starts ringing for real, which I didn't even try to answer.

I can't have the only house like this can I? I'm hoping to hear some other craziness so I can say it's not just me!

My dog will bark at pretty much anything...which gets the other dog barking. Which gets the bird barking. Wherein she turns to the dog and yells "Shut the F*** up Spot!!!" (Dog is named Spot.)

I guess she hears that one a few too many times a day... I suppose I should be glad that's the only bad language she's picked up on so far, lol

I have two dogs, 9 cats, a lovebird, a GCC, an amazon, 2 goats, and 17 horses. I literally have a zoo.

Oh Doublete that sounds like heaven!
Currently we have a IRN, 'tiel, poodle, cat and some fish. Next door there is another poodle and a 'too. Next week Mum's Galah moves in. Emmett the hedgehog leaves muddy footprints up our ramp most nights and if the door is open and we're watching telly late at night, he'll stop in for some special treats. A couple of field mice Madge and Midge, pop by occasionally but only if I'm trying to impress a new parent (home daycare type arrangement). I just point out we live in the country. Madge and Midge aren't too popular around here.

The other day, a person was knocking next door. No one was home; we knew this for a fact. Given the neighbours are our inlaws, we try and give each other as much space as possible and mind our own businesses. But I'm standing in the kitchen, looking towards the front door and this fella won't stop knocking. We're trying to ignore him, but by this point the cat is staring him down and both of the dogs are barking...along with one parrot. Eventually the hubby and I clicked to what had happened and cracked up. Turns out the poor bloke wouldn't leave the door alone because there was a voice in side saying "Hello...Hello....come on in!"....the guy couldn't understand why the inlaws weren't unlocking the door for him when they were inviting him in. The guy was rather disbelieving when I explained the situation...I think he thought I was having him on, he didn't like knowing he'd been fooled by a cockatoo!

A chihuahua named Thor? That's the best name ever

The only way my husband would agree to a little dog was if he had a big name. It's actually Thor the Conqueror.

Itchyfeet, we used to have a hedgehog as a pet. He was great and is missed. I didn't include our outdoor birds. We have more than 100 exotic chickens, Guinea fowl, and call ducks. My fear has been that Buzz will learn to do a Guinea fowl call and that might make my husband a bit nuts!
