I remember a round of "no, they're harmless; it's temperament that
matters." Our neighbors have two whippet-like dingbats, which bark
whenever they sense the air is fresh. One minute they're in the
house, doing fine; the next they're outside in alien fresh air.
"It's fresh," shrieks Da Vinci.
"Crikey, so it is," responds Whatever the Other one is Called...
Galileo perhaps?
If I'm trying to enjoy peace and quiet in my garden, my first thought
is that they should be shot, but then the liberal voice in my head
reasserts itself and adds, "gently."
