Singing sheepie

Every afternoon, DH takes a nap. Kdog positions herself just outside the bedroom door below a musical clock. Over the years I've become "hearing blind" and can't tell if all the hours play their tune anymore. But for certain 5 p.m. plays. K-dog sings along, howling and talking to the short ditty. I don't know if the song "hurts" her ears or the specific notes resonate the old "wild dog" instinct to howl.

I'm reminded of Renee Flemings, opera soprano's, comment about singing on stage with a dog. In one production, the dog could hit the high notes better than she could.

Love it! Steel has always been a talker. People never understood what I was talking about but he doesn't bark much, he talks. Sonny however does what you are saying and Steel hasn't quite caught on....Am I a bad mommy for almost coaxing him to start it up? After all the tendency is there with all the taking he does! Hehe. When I yell for my oldest to let all of the dogs outside and I have to yell because he usually has earphones on and I have a large home if I do it in a certain way ROBERRRRRRRT Sonny will howl and sing a pretty little tune holding his head high. So far Steel just looks around in amazement like what button did I push to get that noise to come out of him! I wonder if your babe is only doing it because DH is sleeping? Seems like otherwise IF clock was working you would be getting that sweet melody all day long. Maybe she thinks it means it's time for him to get up!!!! My parents had a dachshund that used to sing happy birthday. That was the only time he sang.
I like the howling and talking. Harry, being part hound, was an excellent howler. When we had the dog pack he was the lead singers in a very strange "musical" group. Glacier Pyr provided the "beat"; MO sheepdog the "bark"; Harry the "melody", Jack sheepdog the "grumble." Before Jack came, while we had Sam Pyr, Sam was the baritone. I don't remember Paige or Chad being part of the group howl. So Kensie's singing makes me long for a hound just for musical talent......I don't remember our Siberian, my first dog, ever singing or talking.

I say encourage Sonny's musical talent. Steel may try some day.
