    Please try to describe your dog's voice. It's sometimes very funny. Yesterday, we met a dog who is very big but has an extremely squeaky voice - like he was very small. It was surreal. I was laughing so hard every time he barked, I hope we will meet him again:p . Homer has very cute voice, quite deep...but when he wants something, he always does his squeaky voice:p

    You can hear my coonhound begging for food. It was impossible to resist when she did that, lol. Especially when she starts giving us sad eyes.

    Funny you should bring up dog's voices, some would say dogs don't have voices, but they definitely do. Buddy has somewhat of a gruff voice, that is low but has a gruff tone to it. Seriously there are times when I think this dog is trying to communicate with us, I have also seen him trying to carry on conversations with my brother. He has also talked back at times when we have scolded him, so dogs do talk in their own way.

    They definitely do communicate with us and I love it. When I hear that my Homer is barking I often know what he wants even if I don't see him because he changes his tone:p

    Mishka isn't a boisterous dog and uses soft noises. When she wants to play balloon she will say something like ra roon softly. Then at night when she wants to go out she almost whispers. I'm quite sensitive to it and get up to let her out.

    I've noticed at times, our dogs barking/whining would sometimes come across as "human-like" in some ways. It's as if they understand the inflection and tone of our voices and they are mimicking it at times - even though they don't understand the words themselves.

    Mishka is very polite then. When my Homer wants me to let him out at night, he barks as loud as he can with his most annoying squeaky barking:( . He is very impatient.

    I've have noticed a little bit of that. I really think our furry friends are clever enough to do this.
    I'm always worried I will miss Mishka's whispering in my sleep. But so far so good. It must be a bit annoying when you have to clammer out of bed with such urgency. It's almost like having a baby in the next room.

    Exactly, Homer is just like a little, furry baby:p . But I think that he wants to patrol the garden from time to time in the night because he feels that he needs to protect our house. He could be more delicate though:p

    That's interesting. Mishka will pace up and down in the kitchen quietly when there is a possum on the verandah. I will get up let her out to go grff grff she comes back in a and settles down. It's as if she has to patrol:p similar to your Homer. If I don't get up she will pace up and down for a longer time.

    I'm jealous:p . If I didn't get up, Homer would wake up the whole city:p . Mishka has always been this quiet or did you trained her not to bark?

    Homer sounds like a Doggy Riot. :D Mishka is a scaredy cat. I guess it's her personality. She does bark when someone may come around only if we are home. When we first get home in our car she will be hiding under the house so I would doubt she barks at anyone when we are out.

    Homer has no shame at all, when he wants something, he gets it. He acts like he was a very big and dangerous dog, it's pretty funny considering how little he is:D . Mishka has very sweet nature! I was hoping that you trained her to be so polite though, so you could share some tips:p

    My big dog has a deep, scary bark and growl, it's great for him being a good guard dog. My little dog has an annoying high pitched squeek bark, and she barks a lot at every little sound, but we still love her anyways.
