We have a sparrow friend at our house. I was sitting in the backyard yesterday when this bold bird landed two feet away and chirped at me repeatedly. Betty came over to see what was going on and the sparrow just looked at her. I’ve seen this sparrow munching out on dog treats Betty didn’t find. Perhaps it is a dog bird.

I was sitting in the backyard mindlessly completing Sudoku puzzles while Betty chewed on Elvis [our wisteria vine], and we were visited by our dog bird sparrow friend again. It nearly landed on Betty’s tail, hopped over to me, and chirped like mad. I don’t know where it got the idea that I dispense dog bird treats.

Carol says she had to get a puppy because I’m not a snuggle bunny. I thought she knew she married a killer rabbit.
