Wu-wuu-wuuu!

I mentioned that I am not a mindless yapper. I am not like the little bug-eyed Apple Heads who throw back their heads and yap-yap-yap at letters falling through the mail slot and keys jingling in the yard next door. I bark when it’s necessary. But I don’t whine and I don’t lose my head.
Save New Year’s Eve, which embarrasses me still.
I am, nonetheless, vocal. Some might say articulate. When I need to express myself audibly, I wu-wuu-wuuu. It is a civilized and harmonic sound, one that does not irritate the People or the People’s neighbors. And it pleases me. It pleases me greatly. I fancy myself the Leontyne Price of the dog world, and my People don’t seem to think any different.
Poodle prances and whines when she knows food is coming. I can tell the People don’t like that. Labrador barks big and bold when she needs to speak, and the People don’t seem to mind. But I can tell that they love my wu-wuu-wuuing because they wu-wu back to me. Sometimes we sound like a chorus. And I know that all my dog pals around the neighborhood are listening and wishing that they lived in my house. But they don’t. But they wish they did. And that’s how I like it.
