Barking Dogs

[Butterfly]

"Hemp" rescued * ME * about 6 weeks ago. We have just returned from his first ever camping adventure. He was very good at alerting me to the 3 or 4 buffalo herds that came thru the camp on the first night. Good Dog! Second night he was VERY worried about the dangerous vicious rustling leaves. Good Dog! Protected me from both of those dangers. Third and fourth night he just slept thru everything = YAY!

What kind of doggie is Hemp? His coloring looks like my Sweet Bonnie (also a rescue) and she is mostly pit bull. She is the sweetest doggie alive.

My Bonnie doesn't bark much -- she's an inside dog with a dog door -- so when she barks, I pay attention. She does not approve of the mail carrier and always barks at her, though.

Dogs bark, and that's one of several reasons I have a cat.

That's the same reasons I have my cat also. My family tells me I need to get a dog because for some reason, they think I won't be allergic to a dog like I am to my cat but I don't believe it and my cat lets me sleep at night rather than barking like a dog does. I like dogs as long as they belong to someone else.

As much as I love dogs ... I couldn't stand a barky one. I had one and she got on my every last nerve ! I'm glad our neighbor's dogs are fairly quiet. My Hunter only barks at squirrels. When my husband and I were trying to teach him how to speak... we looked like a couple of idiots ,acting all excited and barking at him and repeating "speak...speak....". Sheesh - I'm glad there weren't any cameras around ....Hunter probably thought we were nuts. He does speak now .....sort of . His mouth moves and once in a while , a little squeaky snort will come out ~~ LOL
