Alas yes, fond memories of poor old Dumbo, had him from a pup, I'd never seen a dog like him but the seller said that African Greys were good with children and he was right, none of the little fckrs could escape being trampled to death when their balls came in my garden, he loved chasing kids. House training was a bit of a problem at first, one dump filled the living room, but eventually the local gardeners came to appreciate his deposits, any complaints and he gored them to death, he was a gentle loving dog. He was a bit of a handful on the lead, and once took the mrs on a 200 mile walk but you only had to say 'Here Dumbo', and he fucked off at a rate of knots, a sheepdog he wasn't.
How we miss him, no thats a lie you can't miss him, we buried him at the bottom of the garden and the council use him as a ski slope, never been able to find another dog like him.
