My Berner Babbles

2002-12-13 Thread Nobles.Carrie
Our Willie is a babbler, too.  When he was a puppy he would lie in his crate
at night and chirp and grunt to himself, sounding for all the world like a
baby chimpanzee.  Now he belly-grunts and oof-woofs when he's content, and
in the mornings when it's time for him to wake up the old folks, he emits
this high-pitched keening sound that starts down low then runs up the scale
finishing up at a loud high-C squeal.  He repeats this as many times as
necessary to wake us up, then jumps up on the bed and smiles at us.  Our
breeder, Cathy Burlile, said Willie was the most vocal of his litter, and
he's sure a talker.

My boy jackson talks constantly!!  Actually when we first got him, I was so 
worried that something was the matter, he was really unhappy or sick or 
something, because he just made noise all the time.  His breeder reassured us 
that he just had a lot to say, and he's been that way ever since!   We call 
him Chewbaca because he talks like that- woo woo woo.  He even seems to have 
learned to say hello.  When I come home, I swear that's what he's saying.  
And when we go to play- yikes! He never shuts up!  I've been wondering how 
many other Berners like to chat.  BTW, my other Berner, Sallie, doesn't talk 
much at all- she's too busy being naughty!
