I just have to share this story, because I'm still laughing about it, although yesterday when it happened I wasn't laughing at all...
I walked in the door yesterday afternoon, and as usual my 2 dogs started barking like crazy. They were both upstairs in my office. I walked into the kitchen and put my bag down, dogs barking, and then very loudly I heard someone upstairs "shush" the dogs! The dogs stopped barking for a second or two, then started again, and again I heard someone go "shhhh!". I live alone, so I immediately went into fight or flight, thinking someone had broken into my house while I was out! I started yelling "Hello? Is anyone there?", but only heard the dogs start barking again and the birds start chirping...So I walked upstairs, with my heart in my throat, and again the dogs started barking and someone went "Shhhhhh!"...Then I realized that it was Bowie! He was copying me "shushing" the dogs!
Not cool. Not cool at all.
