[nagdu] Barking

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Too funny!  Mitzi tends to do the same thing.  She only gets in trouble to
get my attention so I will play with her.  /lol/

Viola has an issue with long boring college lectures.  She'll be 
resting, and during the most boring part of the class she lets out the 
longest, loudest groan I've ever heard.  She really had a problem with 
my 2 and a half hour Logic class (grin).  I'm not sure who has golden 
retrievers, but she has the most obnoxious play whine.  I am told that 
this is a golden thing, and she does it when she wants attention, food, 
or when she gets in trouble.  This whine (which sounds more     like a 
cow dying) is her "mom its morning, and I haven't seen you in a whole 7 
hours" greeting.  If she is licking the floor (or any other little 
behavioral issue around the house), and you call her out on it she runs 
to the nearest toy and bring sit to you.  She starts the play whining, 
and wags her tail as if to say "This it what I was doing the whole 
time."  She has a little play growl which is hysterical, because she 
only does it when the toy she has is about to die.
