My Dog is Pretty Special (Part 1)

     I had a Siberian Husky once.  It was around 2003.  She was a stray that my husband had rescued from a very busy highway.  She was pretty cool.  I would ask her if she wanted to go outside and she would "talk back to me" in a series of whines and howls.  We thought it was the funniest thing ever. We thought she was totally unique.
     ...Until we saw another Siberian Husky doing the exact same sort of "talking back" on a viral youtube video.  And then much later, my sister and her husband got a male Siberian Husky and he "talked back" the same way.  Do a youtube search on talking Siberian Huskies.  Dozens of talking Siberian Huskies can be viewed.

Oh.

Well.  She wasn't so unique after all?

Actually she was.  And the reason why is because she was ours.  Our pets carry certain traits and mannerisms that are still unique and fun to our households.  I just wish I had been the first person to videotape her antics so I could have had the famous viral youtube video!
