Kwame finds his voice

We've never been able to figure just what causes them to yodel, Itty Bitty and Mr Baroo both sound off when they are either happy or very excited, but our new boy Buddy, seems to be almost voiceless. The ony sound he makes is at the door when he feels he has been banished to the yard for too long a period, a very sad whine. Hopefully he will begin to respond to Bitty and Baroo when they become vocally happy.

I usually get yodels when my guy is anticipating something he likes and is getting impatient. The longer the delay, the more likely I get a "baroo" when I finally give him what he wants…...in most cases, food. :) I got my previous boy to start singing by making noises through an empty paper towel roller. He did more howling than barooing, but it certainly got him going. One of my girls would start up when I played at "threatening" her by holding my hands just over her head as if I was going to grab her. Didn't always produce results, but sometimes a growly yodel would be forthcoming. Different things work for different dogs.....

Malaika nearly always yodels when she's playing with a toy on the settee, she seems to like it when it falls off on the floor and stands above it and yodels.
Debra will try to get a vid -

Oh gosh how cute.. the yodel of "great toy defeater." I am envious. Cara makes tons of musical yawns, not not a single yodel.

Jenga and Rudy are both quiet dogs when it comes to barooing. I have only occasionally heard a half-hearted baroo as a greeting from Jenga. However, i am sure that however developed the cartoon Tasmanian Devil was the owner of B like Rudy. He makes the biggest noises I have ever heard when trying to shoo Jenga out the space he consider to be his alone. Especially in the middle of the night as Jenga tries to migrate higher up on the bed! It can be quite alarming but he is sure all show.

My guy howls in his sleep sometimes. Really something to see (and hear) because he truly is asleep when he does it. More often, he will give little yips and move his legs. Never quite sure if he is chasing something or something is chasing him. And then there are the growls…....:)

Here is a video we made to see what happens when Kwame is left on his own. I wish to point out that he is rarely left and if Malaika is with him then usualy he is ok. He is a real baby though and sometimes start with the howling if he even thinks we have gone out, ie in another room.

What a voice! He is clearly making his displeasure known. I know it makes us all giggle, but you are right to wonder if those above and below you also think how cute it is.
