EllieMae Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think I mentioned that Leo liked to make Sabrina my chihuahua whine when I wasn't in the room, Well Sassy has picked up on the game. I know it's wrong but it cracks me up every time. There is nothing to see in the video as they only do it when I go to another room or outside but the sounds are there So, this is my birds torturing a poor lil chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Interesting video of those vocals. It sounds like an animal kingdom interlude. I enjoyed listening to it several times. I wonder if Sabrina enjoys it as much as they do? I would think she would just leave the room if it annoyed her. Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 When the cats away the mice will play, was that the dog howling or Sassy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieMae Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Dan, the first time it happened I just had Leo. I was in the shower and I heard him vocalizing periodically but then I heard Sabrina howling. At that point Leo got louder and faster. Then I hear Sabrina scratching on the bathroom door and whining. When I came out I found her in my bed under my pillow. At this point sometime she leaves and sometimes she just howls. Judy, That was Sabrina howling. I am sure however that Sassy will soon pick that up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 More than likely she will pick it up, they usually pick up the ones we don't want them to but the novelty might wear off eventually and Sabrina will get more used to it, at least hopefully, it is funny right now.

Luvparrots Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I am curious to know what Sassy is doing to make Sabrina whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieMae Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 It's just the whistles and sounds they make. Especially when Leo does the bomb drop whistle.. Little Bre hates that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 EllieMae... I am a firm believer that dogs,cats and birds, CAN get along! Sabrina is whing. NOT comfortable! Sassy and Leo, are stressing the dog. It is NOT cute. No dog should be stressed. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieMae Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nancy, I believe they can all get along as well. I also believe that my dogs have to adjust to my birds existence just as the birds have to adjust to my existence when I bring them home. Sabrina is not confined to the living-room, she has full run of the house and she can leave when ever she chooses. My birds however, cannot. I honestly believe this has become a game between them because that little dog has no problem leaving any room when she wants to. But in any case I'd be really interested in how you think it should be handled. Getting rid of any of my Babies it out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 EllieMae... sorry...didn't mean to sound mean! I DID sound mean....which was not my intent. Sometimes I get too passionate about a subject ( this is one of them), and you took it in stride. Kudos to you! Something that worked for us, just a suggestion, won't necessarily work for everyone, is to introduce birds and dogs gradually under supervision. I'm sure you are already doing that.Once Sophie accepted the kids as well is when we started training her with the dogs. Max my 18 year old lhaso apso did most of the training as Ollie was a pup.During Sophie's training, she went into " timeout" for biting people, as well as attempting to bite the dogs. It took less than six months for all. Now I get to enjoy Sophie asking Ollie if he wants a peanut? She will throw him one down. "Ollie.... go out and pee! He runs for the door!" " Ollie...share your chicken!" He is happy for her to take the first piece. ( always under supervision!) What I love the best, is if I'm falling asleep on the couch, Sophie comes and snuggles on my shoulder, Ollie will jump up and sleep in my arm. One of Sophie's favorite games is to sneak down, pull on his tail and run back up to my shoulder and act like she had nothing to do with it! LOL! She does this over and over! He just looks up.... settles back down and lets her play her game. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
