Does the sound of a rooster crowing bother you?

I've got a partially blind, deaf, elderly dog with dementia. She likes to stand outside and bark. Can't stand it.

Oh I know! A shrill yap yap yap is just...awful! One of ours is a chihuahua mix. He's got to be about 98% chihuahua though and he, by far, has the loudest mouth. I'll be honest...I've thrown a couple of his toys at him to shut him up. He's usually a good listener though!

My dog is heading that way too. He's going deaf and getting the early stages of blindness.

I saw my closest neighbor the other day for the first time since I got the chickens. I had told him they were coming, i'm allowed to have them so I wasn't worried. Anyway I asked him if they could hear the boys, he said they could and he likes it because he grew up hearing roosters and it takes him back. He's about 60.

I have two at present. I like hearing them too. They crow at me when I get home while standing at the fence of their pen.

Dogs barking for no reason I do not like. Even my own dogs. Which happens a lot now that they're getting older. Instead of chase after something of interest they'd rather just lay there and bark at it.

Glad to know I'm not the only one

I used to raise dogs and I couldn't tolerate nuisance barking, if I yelled 'SHUT UP!" the silence was deafening for a while anyway. If they saw me smiling, they would start again but a frown stopped them instantly. Dogs do read facial expressions.

I once tried a PA system so I could yell"shut up" from the privacy of my room. Didn't work - when they heard the voice but saw no one - they barked even worse. Those were the good old days. I sure miss them.

What happened to them?
