hilde ran up to a labradoodle pup and her human today barking with a rubber eightball in her mouth and wagging her lithe body excitedly. the woman said Is she Okay?! and i said Of course she's ok. she says well it sounds like she's growling. i say, She's talking, that's the way dogs talk, when her dog started barking good naturedly back. i say see, that's how they talk. well, that's a bark, yours was growling. i say apparently you don't know.
neurotic woman, you will not be happy, and your dog will suffer your ignorance and neurosis. i will give you a skeptical berth from now on, as every dog i am with seems to cause you fear.
