@sharronhurlbut:
My basenji girl always shows me up.
When I am walking the dogs, folks come over and say "oh, are those the barkless dogs?"
My girl ALWAYS gives one of her warning BARKS when they say this.
Laugh.
I tell the folks yes, they are barkless, except for my girl!
So, then discussion starts, and I explain how they are not MUTE.
But my girl gets me everytime!
That's so funny considering we have the opposite experience. Manny baroooos like crazy at home but when we're in public and we want him to do it, he doesnt. Go figure. They have a mind of their own.
