Instead of leaping right in and introducing the Enchantimals, I though maybe I'd change things up and try to describe what it's like here in my house as I type up these reviews. First of all, there are animals everywhere. I usually have my chronically flatulent mini poodle, Zelda, curled up on my right side and my mutt, Pants, cuddled as close as Zelda will let him get. A parakeet cage sits immediately to my left, and this houses our two male birds: Bundy and Griffin. Griffin is always very interested in what I'm doing. His favorite activity is to "help" me type (in other words, to sit on the keyboard and pull up on the computer's keys with his beak...pooping on my track pad as he works) but when I don't let him do this, he sits in his cage and looks over my shoulder, offering helpful chirps (or squawks) when he feels they're necessary.
While all of this is going on, my youngest (now 17) is practicing the piano about ten feet away from me. I say this like it's always happening...because it is. In fact, a few of you might have noticed those sounds in the background of my WuvLuv videos. I enjoy listening to the piano while I work, I do, but the problem is that my ancient dog, Padawan, imagines himself an excellent jazz singer. So, he's often accompanying the music with his geriatric howl. Better still, all three of the parakeets tend to sing (or squawk, depending on whether or not they like the song...) to the music as well.
So, basically, everything I do is set against a background of piano music, animal noises, and pet
