Blah. I’m still sick. The animals are all wondering why I don’t talk to them anymore. It’s because I lost my voice. First it got husky and sexy, and then it turned squeaky with missing parts, and then it disappeared altogether. I think it’s from all the coughing.
I think I’m on the mend though, because I’m not wearing my pajamas anymore. That’s a very good sign. And I’m not drinking out of my sick mug anymore.
Big news in the career department!
Oboe (the littlest lovebird) and I are going into showbiz! I’ve started teaching him tricks, and we’re going to develop a routine and I’m going to get him a little top hat and a cane and then we’re heading out into the world in search of fame and fortune. We’ve talked about it a lot, and we know we’ll have to start at the bottom, probably doing kids’ birthday parties and so on. But eventually we’ll get our big break (I have connections) and then the rest, as they say, will be history.
Here are the tricks Oboe has mastered so far:
1. Coming when he’s called (if he feels like it)
2. Kissing me when I say “kiss me.”
Whadya think? Pretty impressive?
With youtube on your side you’ve got as good a chance as anyone as making it!
But don’t forget the lessons learned in:

Be careful to get insurance for your act, especially for protests of your show by PETA.

Just don’t take any singing frogs into the act, ma’am. I hear that almost always turns out badly…
Oops. Never mind. Julia’s already got it covered…
Hey, aren’t those GC’s tricks?
(The top hat and cane put me in mind of the singing frog, as well.)
You might want to work up one more trick before taking the act on the road. It’s best to have a repertoire of at least three…
Valerie, good thinking, me and Oboe, we’re going viral!
Julia, that was a trip down memory lane – I’d completely forgotten that cartoon! Thanks!
Grouchy, that’s why I always run my brilliant ideas past the blog first – you guys think of EVERYTHING!
Coyote and Gail – great minds think alike. (And Gail – yes, you’re right, three tricks would be better – we’ll call it a hat trick.
Grace, that’s what GC said!!
With connections like that you and Oboe are going to be famous.
