Don't tell this one to my Ceilidh, a lab, she thinks she CAN hold her own.
When my husband gets home and we start talking about our day, she will join
in with many a roooo and moan and groan....particularly if I am relating a
'bad dog' story about her escapades that day <BG>. It's like she doesn't
want him to know that she did anything wrong....will sit and roooo and roooo
tyring to block me out of the conversation....until I switch the subject.
What a nut.....always leaves us laughing :)

I thought my Dobie/Shepard mix was the only one that did that. She has done it
every day since we adopted her, especially when someone comes home, when we get
out of bed in the morning, or (yes!) when she knows I'm telling on her. She
goes , "rooo oo oo oo, roo oo oo oo oo." Kind of like a revving engine. Her
little lips puff up as she blows the air though the little "o" her mouth makes.
Then she makes grumbling noises. Finally, for a finale, she will open her jaws
up wide and then snap her teeth together a few times, like she is teasing us
("I'm gonna get ya!". Sometimes when she does the "roo" thing, she must have
lots of saliva in her mouth because she sounds like one of those little plastic
bird whistles I used as a kid. You filled the bottom up with water and when you
blew, the whistles would "gurgle" through the water. I just thought she was
weird. I wonder how common this is and why they do it?

ROFL !!!! Yup yup yup....just like Ceilidh. I can't believe it....but then
again there have been alot of things I have thought were isolated to my dogs
and after writing about them I find out alot of others do the same. It is
amazing, isn't it tho, the homecoming ritual <BG>. And yes Ceilidh does this
in the am also. Anytime DH and I wake at the same time and start to chat,
Ceilidh will jump up and start in with her morning vocalizing...
and the same puffing of the lips.....hahahahaha. Gotta love em !! Oh and
she's a black lab (mix I think).
