Do your pets do things that impress you?

Do your pets impress you at times? I was getting ready to go somewhere yesterday afternoon and got dressed and went into the kitchen to get a jar of ice water (it was hot and I always bring ice water with me in the summer) and one of my parakeets asked me "Where are you going?"....so I stopped and told the birds where I was going. I figure if they are smart enough to ask me I might as well answer them.
