Pure Uncut Funk, Greg, and Igor
Those are the names of the 3 main animals at this house.
You may already know about Igor the parakeet. He is doing rather well. Actually I think he's making an emotional breakthrough; I just saw him play with his bell for the first time yesterday. Well... he more just touched it... but it's a start. And today I saw him nibble on it for a few seconds, and then swing the whole contraption once. That's a very good sign. I've also discovered another important fact: Igor was a metalhead in a past life. He's developed a strong connection to two rock bands... why these two I don't know, but it seems to be only them. Whenever I play Rush or Black Sabbath, Igor breaks loudly into song. I'm very happy that he's found his niche.
As for the other two, Pure Uncut Funk is the neon-pink gecko who lived on our front porch. We'd see him scurry every time we went outside. I say lived, because he no longer lives on our porch. I saw him in our bathroom last night. If you've ever seen a gecko run... well it's kind of creepy. They run like giant silverfish or centipedes... or caterpillars... it's very interesting indeed.
And Greg is our mailbox cockroach. He lives in our mailbox by choice, since he clearly has a way out, and we've knocked him out many times before. But he always comes back. He waits for us on the top piece of mail, as if guarding it. Thank you, Greg, the mailbox roach.
So yes, that is the zoo that lives here in my house.
