♫Bark loudly! Bark loudly! All I want to do is bark!♪ If you want to sing along with me the tune is by Queen. It sounds a little like they are saying "bicycle" but that's silly, who would sing about that?
Anyhoo, as long as I'm barking on about barking, let me tell you barking is great. It's good and good for you. People should try it. Bark loud, bark proud.
I try to bark as often as I can. Of course, it's easy to bark when the mailman or the UPS guy comes by. Any dog can tell you that. Where barking becomes a true art is in finding the less obvious. Say, a squirrel high in a tree. Or a branch moving that might have been moved by a squirrel. Or a branch that might move, someday, possibly due to a squirrel. Do you see the complexity? That's what separates the dogs from the puppies.
Whenever I'm feeling a little funky, I bark. It makes me feel better. It's even more fun to bark together. Try it. Have a barkalong today!!
P.S. Pace yourself when you start. It's more work than you think.
