![]() The moral of the story is that the dog could be trying to tell you something. A few wanted to know if Codie could make them a puppy? He was obviously a very good dog. The neighbors said that knew something had to be wrong when Codie demanded attention in the middle of the night. Mother apologized to the neighbors for the fuss. The arrival of the police chased off the housebreakers who wanted into her home.Ĭodie got a very nice steak that day. They called the police for a welfare check on the tiny fragile old lady whose dog never barked in the night. The neighbors did what Mother wanted least. He had changed his focus from window to front door to side door several times, but was now intent that Mother not leave the house. Bernard cross outweighed her by more than 35 lbs. She decided that the only was anyone would get any more sleep was to get dressed and go chase the cat away.Ĭodie wouldn’t let her out of the house. Mother assumed some cat was trying to sleep on her car. He also stopped a soon as it was over.Īt three one morning Codie went off as if he were a air raid siren. He had different levels of noise for delivery and interlopers. ![]() Codie was good at letting her know that a cat was sitting on her car, or a squirrel wanted into the attic, or someone was on the porch. My Mother in Law’s dog used to only bark at “real things”. Unfortunately, they learned that noise-brings-service lesson, too. Sometimes he would do it if my husband and I were not both in the living room, both sitting on comfortable furniture and positioned with our laps situated suitable for a cat to lay on.Ĭalvin was over his illness, but still old and a bit frail, so we kept racing to check on him if he made noise. After that if his food or water or litter box didn’t look to suit him, he would stand and yowl. He recovered, but the lesson he learned from that is that if he made noise he got immediate service. For most of his life, he was the quietest little guy, but then he got really old and had some health problems and if he so much as squeaked my husband and I would race to him to make sure he was okay. Our cat Calvin lived to be 20 years old and we had had him since he was a baby who had just stopped nursing. Willow: I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS INVADING BUT I AM READY TO DEFEND MY HOME AND FAMILY!Ĭats can come in the I-never-meow-unless-there-is-an-emergency version, but also in the I-shall-observe-the-surroundings-and-if=anything-does-not-meet-with-my- approval-I-shall-stand-here-and-yowl version. Tussah: WILLOW IS BARKING AGAIN! SOUND THE ALARM! ALL HANDS TO STATIONS! BUT MOM NOW TUSSAH IS BARKING AT THE FRONT DOOR SOMEONE IS HERE PROBABLY MAYBE RIGHT? Tussah: okay but I haven’t barked at ALL the windows yet. Tussah: Willow, give me some indication of the enemy’s position! Willow: Oh no! Tussah has detected an intruder. ALL HANDS TO STATIONS! DEFEND THE FAMILY! FIGHT TO THE BITTER END! Tussah: I don’t know what Willow knows that I don’t, but I better sound the alarm anyway. Willow: I bark in solidarity with my sister!! Bark, bark bark! ![]() But once in a while Willow will think she heard Tussah in a recording and will bark along with her, and then Tussah figures if Willow is barking, clearly all Hell has broken loose and she must defend the perimeter, and then they’re both barking because the other one is barking. Tussah doesn’t usually bark at recordings. Willow doesn’t usually bark unless she hears Tussah barking.
