Four Reasons To Get A Dog

Woofle!

It are snow!


The famous "Wookiee Lullaby"

  1. D'awww. My dogs do that "woofle" thing all the time. It's fraggin' adorable.

    One of them does that "mow lawn with face" thing after he has a bath. Except this is The South, and The South doesn't believe in snow.

  2. I miss my dog. He used to do many of the same things. He'd do the "woofle" while awake too, and we figured it was his way of saying "yes" because it was whenever we asked him a question.

    Another fun winter game is having them play "fetch" with snowballs. They see where it lands but of course can't find it again, so they start digging all through the snow looking for it.

    My dog also did the "singing". Ususally its because he wanted something, even if it was just attention. But sometimes it was when he wanted food. But occasionally he'd just walk up to us in the living room and start making noises, and we called it "telling a story". He'd make a some noises and we'd say "Oh, you're telling a story?" Then there'd be a woofle, and more noises. Sometimes the whines would sound sad and we'd respond "Oh that's a sad story". They'd be mixed with non-threatening "grrs" and woofles. And if he ever actually barked we'd say "Oh, we want a quiet story" and he'd quiet back down.

    He was a very good dog (Golden Retriever, Brittany Spaniel mix) and I miss him a lot.
