Noises

[savannahsmom35]

Recently Savannah started making this noise that sounds like Tim Taylor from Home Improvement. Sort of like, "Arrughh" (know what i am talking about?) I mean she sounds JUST LIKE HIM. It is the funniest thing! If one of the neighbors are over when she does it, they ALWAYS laugh and tell me that she sounds like him.

Do your Cairns make any unique noises?

Emma is pretty quiet unless she is barking at something. Often the bark turns into this weird sound like she has marbles in her mouth! It's so funny! With some of her toys she makes this little puppy bark. Eric mostly snores (and farts) these days! Hey, he's 14! We are also fostering a Cairn right now for rescue and she makes these adorable chimpanzee noises in her crate. Adorable!

Rufus Makes really funny noises when your playing with him it's just like his trying to talk.

Elsa whines piteously when she wants something (like for me to take "her" bone away from Connor)

Connor talks like a Wookie, I swear, when he is talking to his Daddy. When he is excited, he pant-talks, making noise with his breath.

Of course when they play they snarl and bark like baby wolves or something.

And when Elsa yawns, she ends it with a high pitched squeek

Connor moans in his sleep

Apollo has a wide range of vocals. We can always tell by his bark if he knows the people/dog(s) or not. The most annoying is the alarming high pitch bark he will let out. At night he will sometimes growl when we have settle for the night. When I tell him to sshhhh, it turns into a low growl, almost a grunt, with more shhhing. This may go on several times. He has to have the last growl!

Kiara and Abbey just have different bark pitches that I know. Abbey is my worst at barking at the slightest thing. Kiara gets so vocal sometimes, I swear she's going to talk soon. Hannah is my little "yodel" baby. With her, I feel like I have a little wolf cub in my house.

Ellie Mae puffs....thus the nicname "Puff doggie"

Dori sounds exactly like a chimp, it's so funny. SHe really gets going when they're playing too. And when she thinks she's going to see a critter in the yard when we go out, she gets this incredibly higher than high pitched bark that cracks my eardrums!!! I hate it when that happens!!!!

When Elliott wants his ball that he rolled under the sofa he does this low pitched growl that is between a whine and a cry.

Wow Sophie makes some strange noises...."blowing" of her mustache, she growls madly while shaking a toy, makes a growling snarly in the throat noise when playing with the cat, the high pitched yipe yipe yipe when she sees a dog on a walk and can't approach it. She has a low pitched boof that sound like a question, a high pitched "that's scary" whine, the gurgling noise she makes while pouncing my hands, and her 'stranger at the door' snarl.

The only thing she doesn't do...bark madly at nothing...thankfully.

Packy has a full range of strange noises. He "boofs" when he wants to go outside, whines when he's trying to bury a bone in the house, yawns with sqeaks at the end, howls like a little wolf when I leave him home with Dad, and I swear he meowed one day in the car!

Crunch was not very vocal as a new pup, but Gus sure is. Barking when he wants attention, growling low and mean when he is "fighting" with a toy, etc. But what has amazed us the most is something that first happened a couple of nights ago. It's around 2-3am...hubby and I have been asleep for awhile. Gus started crying in this long weeping sound that is just like a baby. My husband and I both looked across the pillows at each other and I'm asking, "Do you hear a baby?" We died laughing it was so uncanny. Now it has become a nightly sound. He has to go potty at this cue.

To be really honest, when Mett & Bratt are playing they still sound like Tasmanian Devils! I can't get used to it either.....

[Guest Guest]

Maddie had the cutest lil' yodel... WooWooWooooooo... Everybody who heard it, fell instantly in love with her. She was like a Greek Siren. I'd come home from work and she'd be so happy to see me, we'd yodel back and forth at each other. Gosh I miss that yodel. It's one of the things I miss most about her. I hope another Cairn comes along into my life someday that does that cute lil' yodel.

Murph is a very quiet dog. He has a normal type bark that he uses, mainly at the Lab next door and even more rare a whine, but that's about it. He's never been as communicative as Maddie was. But with 2 Collies, a quiet Cairn is a good thing.

Scout and Finch make all kinds of noises! I swear I understand all their grunts, sighs, whines.....I think I spend too much time with them....lol!

Finch makes the same high pitch noise when she is yawning...too funny!
