Why Don’t Dogs Go Hoarse?

After lunch on Monday I needed to run a number of errands. You know, Bank, Post Office, Town Hall, Pharmacy, Grocery Store, etc. So, seeing as Anneliese is still in heat and Hubby was working on the last lawn mowing of the year, I decided to take Anneliese with me.

First we stopped at the Post Office. While I went in, Anneliese barked and barked and barked. I was inside waiting for a package and I could hear her out there.

Next I stopped at book store. I need to get a magnifying sheet for my books. I had to walk from the parking lot about 40 feet to the store and then into the shop and I could still still hear her.

Next I drove to the Town Hall. My report was due and I needed to leave it there. I crossed the road, and went into the brick building and bark, bark, bark!

I came back, all the while listening to her bark, but here’s the kicker. As soon as I got into the car each time, she stopped barking and rode quite nicely.

I went to the Pharmacy and Grocery Store, and bark away she did! Barking like she was a Great Dane and not a 16 pound dachshund!

Our last stop was The Bank! There was no barking at all! Why you might ask? Well, because as soon as we pulled up, the nice lady sent out two doggy cookies for her.

Anneliese may be loud…but not stupid!

We arrived home shortly after that and it made me wonder, with all that barking…why don’t dogs go hoarse?
