Webster is finding his voice
« on: February 23, 2006, 08:35:28 pm »
Webster is such a talker.  He woofs to go outside and he woofs to come in.  He woofs when he wants to play or if he needs a "hand up" to get up on the bed. He woofs if something is said directly to him and he gives a sharp, short little "talk back" woof when he is told "no!" (then he will lie down and put his head between his paws and look ever so sad).  Sometimes he talks to the neighborhood.  He will stand at attention and go "woo woo woo"  in a wee little voice.  Until this morning.  Then, he was doing is woo woo woo thing when all of a sudden it became a full fledged howl (like a coon dog)  He looked back over his should at me with the whites of his eyes showing as if to say "where in the world did THAT come from?".  Then I swear, he tried for 5 minutes to do it again but it just wouldn't do it.  It was soooo funny.  I would have loved to have it on video.

They're all such cuties...espec ially webster...I'm not newfie biased i'm not ;D
I feel your pain...Kali found her voice a little while back....hmmm the trick now is to get her to be quiet.  She howls, does the talk back, or barks nonstop when she doesn't get something she wants.  It's getting to the point we're all losing our hearing. :P

fumble is def a chatter himself... if it were up to him he would bark 24/7!

I knew I could never replace my first newf, Hightower and I didn't try.  But it is unbelievable how different Webster is.  I had HT for 14 years, never heard him utter a sound, much less bark until he was 10 or 11 years old.  Webster carries on conversations! hahahaha.... either with me, Riley, the neighborhood canine citizens or if no one else will listen, I think he just barks to himself.
