Ok, here is what happens when you have too much time on your hands, waiting for news from the Nationals :-) I have observed 2 different howling styles in my dog.? Some make an "O" with their lips to howl.? Others howl open mouthed.? At first I thought it was boys vs. girls.? However, Miss Maggie Mae is an open mouth howler.? I once timed one unbroken howl for a whopping 32 seconds!? The dogs are only allowed to howl on command?or when they ask?permission, so I do get to observe them.??I am now trying to?teach the 5lb Yorkie?how to howl.? That should be funny, if she ever howls, LOL!? Laura Thomas P.S.? Thank you Susan for sending me the Sept. Review.? It really is an awesome issue and now I get to put faces with the names of the dogs I know I will be hearing about this week.? Thank you Susan!!!!!!! ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
