HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
As far back as I can remember, we always had a pet. My parents adopted Tony the cat six months before I was born and good old Tony (who was a prince among cats) lived to the ripe old age of 18. Tony bore the indignities of being dressed in baby clothes and pushed around in a stroller. He loved to leave gifts of gold fish on the porch (we have no idea where he'd get them, but someone in the neighborhood clearly had an outdoor pond that was missing a few occupants). There were numerous dogs over the years, as well as several other cats, a trio of hamsters., and even a rabbit. All these pets were sweet and loving, adorable and adored. But based on what I've recently discovered some pets can do, our pets were obviously, well…average, especially when compared to these furry little talents. For example, this rabbit:

Ballet Bunny
We had a rabbit. It was cute. It couldn't dance worth a darn. In fact, it's biggest talent was chewing through wires–which, as we found out, renders your computer unworkable (not sure if unworkable is an actual word, but it should be because it's what happens to your computer when a rabbit chews through the power cord).
Or how about this cat:
Now, Tony was a great cat, but a musician he was not. Hairballs–yes. Chopin–no.
Or how about this talented squirrel:

Waterski Squirrel
Now, I've never had a pet squirrel, but based on my very average past pets, I'm gonna say if I DID have a squirrel, it wouldn't know how to waterski. And where do you buy those tiny life jackets and skis anyway?? And HOW did that squirrel even know there was such as thing as waterskiing??
Now, I'm not in the market for a pet elephant, but if I was, I'd certainly want one that could paint:

Nope, our dogs pretty much just barked and slathered us in kisses and jumped around. They'd fetch (if they felt like it) and could sit and shake hands on command, but not a surfer in the bunch. Bummer, Moon Doggie!
Tell me about your pets–what adorable (or not so adorable) things do they do? Is your pet average or can it do extraordinary things? If you don't have a pet, what's the most unusual thing you've heard of an animal doing? Hope your week is going great!
