Pleasant Sounds of Barking Dogs @ Night

Oh no! Am so sorry to hear that you had to get rid of your furry friend, tatsumaki. This is so sad. I do not understand that anyone would be upset by the charms of the barking dog?? They have been our friends forever, and they look after us and care for us and love us. I am glad that you still get to see your dog at your friends house. What is dogs name?

Yeah It's good that i still can visit my dog... My dog's name is chili :-)

Chili. That is the cute name. How did you choose this name, Chili?

Sounds like you have a good ear for this sort of thing.

oh dear PageTurner you misunderstood. The birds are no problem at all but a most welcome sound whenever they are up and chirping. Love it that we have so many of them here, we have blackbirds, finches, and some others.

Yes, the birds are fun to watch, but sometimes in the morning their chirping wakes me. And I used to have a rooster who was really bad about waking me not just at sunrise, but if the moon was too bright, or even if the headlights of a car caught his attention. Do you have the yellow headed blackbird?

We have the problem of the birds as well, RitterSport. I was thinking of doing the discussion on the birds, too.

I watch a show on National Geographic called Dog Whisperer. He says that dogs need a master. always. They are happy that way. A dog barking means its master is not really a master, he ignores it.

Yes, I have read many books on the dog, and they do need master. You are smart and bring excellent point.

Oh, that poor creature who barked the whole of the night! I wonder what he was trying to say? I wonder was their a prowler? Was his master ill? Was he simply lonely and needed to hear a comforting word? Yes, is sad you could not sleep, too. If only we could all learn to communicate, one with another, these beautiful beasts and we humans.

Yeah, or maybe they are hungry..

Yes, that would really be sad if they are hungry. I have had dogs that I feed when I suspect they are not eating, or when it is obvious that they are hungry or malnourished.

Ah, yes, I don't blame you, chicgale. Sometimes I get the angry, too, when I hear those poor creatures doing the barking and no one comes to see what is the problem. They could be alerting to a prowler. Or they could be trying to get help for their master. Or they could be lonely and need a gentle the pet and a reassuring voice. They could be scared and need to know they are going to be the alright. So, yes, I am like you and get the angry sometimes when I hear them the barking all the time and I can't get to them. But mostly I am the sad.

How would you feel if the intruder came to your house and your dog did not stir from his slumber? How would this make you feel, Chikezie? Would you scold your dog, or pat your dog for this thing?

Yes, there are other factors to consider. Maybe the dog is scared, or drunk.

I would be very angry because it is one of the major reason I have it in my house. I might consider selling off. But it also depends on other factors atimes.

The roosters sure do like to crow at the sunrise or the bright light in the night, that's for sure!

Our little one has particular barks for different occasions. If she sees a snake she will alert us with a bark that we can identify. If strangers pass by our gate which we keep locked anyway she barks again which has a different tone and when she has her friends that is the dog kind pass then again we know she is barking at her friends and so on. All this will happen during day time about which we actually feel happy for her. As you see the dogs that you are talking about would also be doing the same also in the night perhaps because they are let loose or they can see activity going on around them, and most of their barks are not warnings. And when that happens in the night it could upset many.I particularly get upset when I hear the whinging sound of dogs which shows that they are in pain - thanks to the cruel owners who have made them unhappy in some way or the other. Sometimes even if there is no pain some dogs whine this way just to get their way. Mine used to when she was little. The whining was so bad that anyone listening to it would think I am hitting her. I have never done that in my whole life! It is wonderful to know that you have converted this unpleasantness to something that you now enjoy. There is a great message for all of us Page."What can't be cured should be endured" Keep it up!

Hello allknowing Your dog is cute and looks quite content. It is good that she has such the trust in you that she is so content. I can see your perspective that the howling of the dogs can be disturbing to one's sleep. This used to be so for me, too. Then one night as I lay in the bed listening to the howlings, I remembered the stories of the my faith, and how the God has the eye on the sparrow and I should not worry so much and all that, and I thought to myself, what is worrying these poor dogs so that they are making such a fuss? Maybe I should listen to them, and offer my prayers for them, as they are also the creatures of God, loved by God, and God may be speaking to me through them. So, instead of sitting in the bed and the fuming, I prayed for these creatures, and opened my heart and mind to their message. This is how I stopped the worry so much about the dog barking as 'noise' and came to see the possibilities of their communications instead. And guess the what? I became a better person for it. Much more at the peace. As you say, your little doggie is quiet unless she hears the noise. This is what makes me to worry when I hear the other dogs in the area to barking. What has disturbed them?? The humans and the dogs have a very long history of living together and we count on the each other for different things. I try to remember this alliance, and how much more faithful the dog is to it, when I hear them barking and howling. I wonder, "What are these faithful creatures trying to tell their humans?"

That's too bad. I wonder what's making them bark?

Hello Octav1 It is so sad that people miss out on this lovely music because of their anger. :(

Yes, exactly the psychoartist, that movie was the forefront of my the mind when I thought of this the Discussion. You have seen this movie, too? It is popular movie in my country, but unfortunately it is also the cause of many Dalmation the dogs being adopted and then turned out when they get the big.

Thanks for stopping in and sharing, PoppaDave. Yes, it is very eerie to be out with brave dogs who became whimpy. I have experienced such a thing only rarely, and when it has happend it has caused me great pause and concern. Your bigfoot adventures sound both thrilling and fun. Did the dog who was thrown over the fence and who was scratched survive?

It is unfortunate that you are not able to relax in the symphony of their barks deep in the night, Lmfishr666. I am hoping for the quiet nights for you.
