The Death Howl....video

[Cinder & Smoke]

He makes that racket for all kinds of reasons.

He sure did "draw a crowd" here at the Ranch!

Both Cinder and Smokey came on a dead run from their nap location on the BigBed;
Bowser was sound asleep beside my puter chair.
The arrival of Clipp & Clopp woke him up ... and even his not-so-sharp ears started
rotating in search mode!

Smokey stared at the monitor with a dreadfully *serious* look, ears UP;
Cinder *cocked* her head side to side and kept folding and extending her ears.

I'd imagine he can draw a crowd from quite a distance, if he really gets *cranked up*!

Well that's a good death howl Anvik! Raven has her own "death howl" when she realizes I'm leaving the house without her! You'd truly think she was being left to die!

Ditto for Miz Cinder!

All three carry on like Crazy-Dawg while I'm prepping to go out ...
"hard-feet" (shoes) on; pick up fire pagers & cell phone; put on coat ...
by this time they're ALL jumping up & down like crazed rabbits.
I drop the bombshell "You guys have to *wait*; I'll be back!"

Smokey and Bowser just look disappointed and go lay down; Cinder refuses to believe it
and continues bouncing around or goes to sit in front of the basement door.
I pass the peace offering - 1 bisquit for each ... Smokey & Bowser inhale theirs;
Cinder *spits* hers out in protest.
Some day she'll learn ... SmokeMutt has no shame - *snatch* & *gobble* -
Cinder's protest busquit is history!

The Racket starts as I progress toward and into the Bus ...
Cinder is in charge of Sound Effects; SmokeMutt & Bowser just *watch* ...
* a *YIPP* - *YAPP* or two as the garage door goes up
* serious *YIPP - *YAPPIN* as the Bus starts and pulls out
* Continuous *YAPP ~ WAIL ~ HOWL* as the garage door closes and the Bus leaves
* <silence> returns as the Bus reaches the street ...

Ripley had the same reaction while sitting on my lap looking at the monitor. Occasionally he would look at me as if to say "is my fellow K-9 friend OK, Mom?"

Poor guy must be saying something terrible in dog language. Smokey
and Maggie looked so concerned with the howl.
