Talking to a bird (and a special day)

I was going to write about my wedding anniversary today, but we're putting off our celebration until we go to the mountains for our niece's wedding later this month. Gregg has to work today, and Wednesdays are his long days so he won't be home until at least 7pm tonight. We'd have been celebrating late in any event. But I do feel so very fortunate to be so happily married, 13 years today, to a good man, and usual I want to wish him a very happy anniversary here on the blog! :)

Instead of writing about all that, though, I thought I'd share a video I uploaded to YouTube this morning. Marco was in the mood to talk and I actually got him on film saying some of his catch phrases to me. Several of you have expressed interest in hearing him speak, so turn up the volume and listen carefully to this:


Have a good day, everyone!

  4. So sweet and adorable ! You have a lovely voice no wonder he wants to talk to you.
    They know when you are filming and stop or at least mine do. iwinston will be talking and the second I bring my phone up he stops.
    Happy Anniversary !

    1. Yes, normally all of my pets, including Marco, clam up and look away when I try to film them or take pictures. It's so frustrating! It's a rare day when Marco starts talking and won't stop for the camera, which is why I seized the opportunity to film him.

  5. Happy Anniversary to you and Greg.

    I really enjoyed hearing both your voice and Marco’s.

  6. I love Marco! It's similar to listening to a small child. Happy 13th Anniversary.

    Love,
    Janie

    1. He sounds sweet there, but let me assure you he can be an absolute HELLION and make your eardrums want to spontaneously combust when we lets loose a devil screech!

    2. My daughter was the same way as a toddler. She wasn't a hellion, but she had such a high-pitched scream that I thought I would go deaf.

  8. I agree with YP, you do have a beautiful voice, Jennifer!
    Just have had a quick look at the other videos you have uploaded under the same account on YouTube. A fun way to share bits of your life with the rest of us.

    2. Thank you Meike! Most of the YouTube videos are of fish tanks, but there are a couple of dog videos sprinkled in.

    1. He IS a little parrot man! This video doesn't even BEGIN to capture his sass and attitude, or even half of the things he can say. Life with him is an adventure!

  13. OK, I was at work when I read this post yesterday so I couldn't watch the video. Now I finally have. Marco is so cute! I love how he says "I love you."
