[nagdu] Barking

Lexia does not usually complain too much.  However, our border collie mix
will grumble when we tell her to lay down on her blanket.

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.
