The bird, its huge bloodshot eyes, the eternal voyage around and around
the house, barking... barking... barking... Mon Nov 19 2001 20:44 I shot the albatross:
Yesterday's Doggone Funny is doggone Lovecraftian:
Jack Cornelison of Mission Viejo, CA, had a Lhasa Apso named Kudjo and a cockatiel
named Sassy. The bird learned how to imitate the dog's bark. When the dog was
sleeping on his favorite pillow, the bird would walk behind him and bark. The dog would chase the bird and the bird would
fly and bark... endlessly.
