No Justice When It Comes to Peace (and Quiet).

Sometimes pets get vocal just when you want to relax. When I come home from work, Baby our dog, gives me a happy dance greeting but shortly after she stands by the back door and vocally tells me she wants to go out.

My favorite vocal by Baby (the dog) is we often give her a large rawhide bone which she immediately wants to hide. She goes from room to room in the house making a crying noise that I assume is "oh my, where can I hide this so no one will steal it from me?". I really need to capture this on video and put it on YouTube. She will basically keep this up for a week but intermittently trot the bone out wanting me to have me play hide and seek with the bone. Eventually she does eat it.

Every pet wants love and attention. Timmothy and Tina's guinea pigs "weeked" when they wanted attention. Our birds got vocal when they wanted attention. I'm sure you have stories as well of your pets if you have owned any.

Love is the biggest need of our pets, that is why those horrible ads by the ASPCA are so moving and hard to watch. If you can not love and care for a pet you should never own one... no matter how much your spoiled little brat of a kid begs for one. Along those same lines YOU should never buy a pet for anyone other than yourself.

Bob, I grew up with dogs but have 3 cats only now.  My Reggie chirps at me, non-stop, each and every a.m. as I get his food plated.  I like to think he is happy, excited, impatient, and thankful.  He is a character for sure.

Hi Bob... every so often my Bingo likes to whine. I tell him we don't endorse whiny dogs in our house. My Mr. Marlow is a purring machine... you can literally hear him from across a room.

I imagine the purring is good for the heart Nina Hollander, Broker . Baby only whines when she is concerned about where to hide that bone. I really need to get it recorded because it is funny.

Thanks Roy Kelley , it's almost always peaceful in our home but when Baby starts barking we also appreciate the heads-up that she may be warning us about.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - Dogs and other animals can be quite vocal! Our job is to help them get their needs met. Baby sounds like she is very content and happy to be a part of your family!

Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP we were very lucky in rescuing Baby, a 8 year old dog at the time. She fit in very quickly and she seems very appreciative that we rescued her.

Funny Bob, that the way my little girl would get when she wanted food, she would let me know, it time to eat.

Hi Bob- It breaks my heart to listen to those ads on the television. And every time I open the Nextdoor app I see photos of Lost or Found dogs. Yes, please don't get a pet of any kind unless you are prepared to give it the care and love it deserves.

Amen Kathy Streib .There is a house in our neighborhood that has two dogs that are always chained out in back and usually totally wrapped up around a tree. They have kids and I imagine they gave into their kids demands for dogs and now everyone ignores them. It's very sad.

I often marvel at how different the personalities of our pets can be.  I have two cats that are brother and sister.  One is lazy, while the other tears the house apart with energy.

I've never owned a cat Myrl Jeffcoat but I know dogs can very greatly in personality as well. I really get a kick out of my neighbors two dogs. One, a small female, gets really jealous if the big male dog pays attention to my dog, Baby. The big male dog is a brut and loves Baby so when he is paying attention to her the little dog jumps up and bites the big dogs ears out of that jealousy.

Rescue pets are the best. Usually, it is a mutual rescue and true love forever

I am glad you and Baby have found each other!!

This is the first time I have rescued a pet Debra Leisek and as you said, it's been a very good union. Those first few days were a little ruff but we both quickly adjusted.
