[nagdu] Barking

[Joy Relton]

Tracy,

You know that all grads from certain schools act certain ways, right? (grin)


It is funny though none of my dogs have been barkers. I remember one time my
dog barked when we were playing on the beach and my nieces were astonished
because I had had that dog for years and they had never heard her bark. My
current dog barks rarely and it's funny when we're in the back yard or
walking down the street and other dogs will bark at her and she looks and
then goes on. The dogs keep barking as though to say, "hey, I'm talking to
you!

That's funny; my Ben doesn't bark, either.  He says he's much too cool to
bark. I think it has a lot to do with personality.  My old gal Echo barks
like a killer when someone comes to the door.  She's much more energetic
than Ben. I think most of my GDB dogs barked a bit, and my one TSE dog
doesn't.  So if I were truly silly, I'd say that TSE does better at teaching
not barking--well, I might say that, until I think of my friend's TSE dog
sounding off like a monster. Tracy
