This probably doesn’t quite rate as a GQ, so I’ll just post my observations here and solicit comment.
As I sit here I can hear the blocks’ pooches doing their nightly thing - they’re barking. As I listen I hear the occasional excited warning of an approching jogger or whatever.
But a lot of it is not very, what(?), concerned sounding; in fact the tone is almost conversational.
The two closest two me:
“Rowf…Rowf…Rowf, Rowf, Rowf, Rowf”
“Ruff, Ruff, Ruff”
“Rowf, Rowf”
“Ruff”
“Rowf”
“Rowf?”
“Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff”
(I don’t speak the tongue - I hope I spelled it all right) So are these pups just talking over the back fence?
