I've never told a dog to shut up. I just said there have been times I FELT like doing that. I never DID do that though, and I don't think I would.

Tray, Charlie Sweet sounds SO adorable! My friend's conure learned to bark from his neighbor's dog.......and when you tell him *bark*....he goes *woof woof*. TOO cute! Popcorn and Muffin talk back and forth to the neighbor's dogs, but in bird language.
