"We used to have a cockatoo, as well as some cats and dogs.
We were teaching the dogs some tricks, and the cockatoo was just doing his bird thing. Every day, the same routine: get some treats, call the dogs, sit, stay, lay down, roll over, get a treat, etc.
One night we were watching TV and hear the cockatoo call the dog by name. 'Sit. Stay. Lay down. Roll over. Good Boy.' We heard something hit the floor, and then he called out the next dog's name.
Walked into the kitchen to find the cockatoo in the spot we always stand, giving orders to the dogs (who were obeying!), and then pulling treats out of the cup and dropping them on the floor. This went on for some time.
Dogs now liked the cockatoo, and would let him ride on their backs. Cockatoo would call them, tell them to lay down, would climb on, and ride around like a king.
The dogs knew what's up, would walk to the kitchen, and stand by the counter. Cockatoo would hop up and drop them a treat, say 'good boy,' and hop back on.
Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life."
well dayum.

This is so funny that I was laughing so hard that my hubs had me read it aloud to him. My dog was apparently listening from the kitchen and ran to my chair to take orders and get a treat. I swear! To god. We laughed even more.
Dogs are such a hoot!
