True, true, sometimes you want to shout! But Mr. Hanky has his own take on that. He is very expressive when excited, when kibble is involved, when Penny (hubba hubba) the German Shepard a few doors down is out, and when he wants inside. It starts with a bark. A, singular bark. I think he learned that from Mickey.
After the bark, comes a long drawn out whine. Sometimes in life only a long drawn out whine will do. We've all done that, are doing that, or are seconds away from doing that.
Following the bark, and whine, comes the surprising part. Because he is so talented he goes right from whining to a full blown yodel. Canine yodels are pretty hilarious. Naturally he does this without cracking a smile. Because, truthfully could any of us do this without laughing?? I can hardly write about it without giggling.
The yodel always gets me moving. I admit to wondering if the neighbors think we are pulling his tail or something. None of the other neighborhood dogs make this kind of noise. They are probably thinking, oh God, there goes that dying dog again, someone put him out of his misery.
Except, there is no misery involved. Just a silly pointer boy expressing the full range of his vocal abilities. Woof, whine.....Ahrooo-ahroooo, ahroooo-ooo-oooo.
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.
