Do You Recognize your Dog's Bark?

I can tell which of the 5 it is that's barking.

They get a deeper, much throatier bark when they are "serious" as opposed to "open the door I wanna to through."

Drives my Dad nuts, if I'm busy in the kitchen, I'll call out, "Can you get the door, Lacey wants to come in!" He has no clue which one is which, hee heeeeee.

Marlin is the funniest. When he is out and wants in, he gives a "bark BARK!" and waits. You BETTER open that door instantly (of course this doesn't happen ) cuz next he starts the "woe is me whine:" I'm all alone, no one loves me, I've been left out here . . . " And that keeps on until we get to the door.

Zoee barks at anything and everything. But I can tell when she hears something, or sees something. Then I can tell if it is just the "let me in!" bark.

Taggart rarely barks, so I know there's something up when he does bark.
Then Taggart also makes a chewbaca (sp?) sound when he sees me coming up the walk and is excited.

I can tell which dog is barking most of the time. Both have loud barks
and each kind of bark means different things. There is the "someone is at the door" bark and there is a "there is another dog out there" kind of bark.

You soon learn to tell what's happening without ever actually seeing it for
yourself, just by the intensity & duration of the bark.

Tip does have different barks as well. He has a higher pitched bark when he's inside and one of his toys has rolled under the couch and he can't get it. He has a constant serious bark when someone is at the door and he doesn't know them. He fusses and barks at me in the mornings when he wants to go for his walk and I'm taking to long to get it together (I'm not a morning person). He mostly talks to me though and then he'll throw a random bark in there for good measure.

The only dog who I've met that sounded exactly like Autumn was her brother Buster.

Of course I can tell them all apart because they're distinct breeds. Only Nay has a roo-roo, only Autumn has a scream, and Wallace has a raspy bark bark.

No mistaking the bark of my dogs , right now I'm down to 1 but there's no way I could not recognize that bark from anywhere.

I even recognize their poop. I was camping a few years back and my daughter and her friend walked the dogs in the evening. The next morning I was walking them and saw some poop that wasn't picked up. I picked it up since I had a bag and it looked like caseys...I went back to the campsite and got a confession....
