[nagdu] Barking

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Rox,

Mill'E talking to herself while she works is too funny.  Wonder what the
translation would be? /grin/

Mitzi gives a little bark when she's startled, as well, especially if she's
sleeping.  Then she'll just settle down and go back to sleep.  She has a
bunch of vocalizations she uses to express herself, but only rarely goes
through super barky phases -- although she barks a lot more around the house
since we moved in with Daisy hound.  Now, that dog has a voice! /lol/  Very
operatic, that one.

Annalisa,

My dog also vocalizes in her dreams.  My problem is that I can't hear  
it so it just goes on and on without me knowing.  Then after the  
meeting is finished, lots of people come up and tell me about it and I  
would be totally clueless.

Laveau, being a Doberman is more mouthy than your average lab, I'd  
imagine.  She barks or makes a kind of rumbling noise when she's  
surprised at something, like when she saw a horse for the first time.   
She also barks sometimes at home.

My seven year old golden Mill'E is the mouthiest dog I've ever had.   
She barks when she plays, she grumbles and mutters to herself when she  
does tasks for me in the home like picking up objects or alerting me  
to sounds.  Her muttering increases if she has to do a repeated task,  
like say pick up a box of dropped paperclips, or if she is emptying  
the dryer of an especially stubborn pair of jeans which are tangled  
up.  I can't hear it any more, but I used to love to listen to her  
talking while she worked.  She never did it outside the home, though.
