We got Leia on April 28, 2020. Since that day, she is pretty much silent. Occasionally, when she’s sleeping, she will give off little baby sounds and twice when we were watching TV, she barked at the dog who was barking on TV. Other than that, for the past almost six months, she doesn’t bark. I don’t mind that at all!
Well, all of that changed today. My brother Dave stopped by on his lunch with some groceries for us and my Mom gave him some lunch to eat. We kept the front door open because we knew he was on his way. As soon as he got onto the porch, Leia started to bark! I was completely startled by the sounds that are coming out of her mouth! I backed up and started to record it.
She is not a big dog and her bark isn’t that big either but having never really heard it, it startled me and I laughed!
I cannot figure out how to put the video here on my blog so I will just post the video directly to Facebook and to Twitter. On the video, I missed out on her more powerful barks at the front door and once she was back in her bed, they started to lessen in intensity. My brother laughed and he told me that she was protecting us (my Mom and me).
I nce my brother left to go back to work, I looked at her and smiled, I thanked her for protecting us and my Mom rubbed her up and kissed her. I can’t reach her sitting in my chair. Once we shut the front door, she curled up and went to sleep. What a sweet girl?!!!
