I've had Siberians and I didn't think any dog could shed worse. Then I got a German Shepherd. I was wrong, wrong, wrong!
Anyway, both my Siberians and my GSD love to howl. You ought to hear them when the fire siren down the road goes off. Most times. I go outside and howl along with them because I figure a family that howls together, stays together. (The look on their faces when I join them in three part harmony is priceless. Besides, if the neighbors think you are a little bit crazy, they treat you with more respect.)
On a serious note... I live in central Kentucky. Last week, I was awakened out of a sound sleep in the middle of the night by my dogs howling. I got up to the horrendous storm going on outside and the tornado warning siren going off. My wife and I immediately went down to the basement and stayed there for the duration of the storm. As it was, we suffered no damage to speak of other than some downed tree limbs. In a worse case scenario, the dogs could have saved our lives. (Yes, they were amply rewarded.)
On a note similar to yours and your dogs warning. Many years ago I worked at a dog kennel which supplied guard dogs to various businesses throughout the county. When putting dogs away in their runs after the early morning pickup, I noticed all of a sudden every single one of them got very quiet, not their usual yapping. About 2 minutes later there was an earthquake. Animals know!
This makes me miss my pure white husky that I had to put down two months ago. She used to greet me every morning and when I came home. When she was out of food or water she would come up to me and not shut up until I got her more. She taught my blue heeler to howl. He tries to talk like her but it is not the same. Plus he is a dick and now that she is gone he is a bigger dick.
Teach'em while they are young. Next comes the class on where the treats are stored and who the biggest "sucker" is.

Still the most honest sound in the world.
ReplyDeleteEven without sound, I can hear them.
ReplyDelete"Oooo-klahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain..."
ReplyDeleteOkay, that made me laugh.
