      I find that smaller dogs tend to be more vocal. They can be trained to not bark at the slightest thing though.


      Most of the time I see the big dogs in my estate just minding their own business while the smaller dogs will be going berserk barking and lunging at the big dogs as they walk pass. Then there is this dachshund that so submissive that it will roll over and pee all over itself whenever it encounters other big dogs.

          Small dogs have Napoleonic complex! 😂

          Wow, the dachshund.... no words. Animal Planet in real life.

            the dynamics in the household is always changing…either one is serving NS while the other was working in preschool (to have a feel of what she wants).


            1st July one is at home after ORD while the other will be starting lessons. there goes ME time until August when both are off to school. yours truly here must be one kind of a mother who wants to shove the kids out of the house.

                They say that barking dogs seldom bite. Not sure about their sizes, though.
                I would normally just steer clear. It's so impolite to bark at me 😆
                it's always safe to steer clear.
                my dog here doesn't bark at humans outside...it loves to surprise other canines by quietly walking behind them and give the dogs a fright. it gave a poodle a fright around Christmas last year. the poodle was startled and started barking but this naughty fella just gave that 'what did I do look'.

                  Recently I saw a big dog got barked by another big dog…dashing towards the poor dog (looks docile) with an elderly owner. I could see how desperate the elderly owner was…screaming (at low voice) at the barking dog owner to quickly get hold of his dog…after that the elderly kept calming down his dog…I don’t know how to love a dog but could feel for them then.

                      thank goodness I'm normal :rotflmao:
                      with the kid or kids at home, I just have no peace.
                      if I am alone at home and feeling hungry, I just search the cupboard or fridge to heat up.
                      with these 2 at home especially my daughter, she is fussy.

                        I'm quite happy to have the kids out of the house, more for their sake than mine, because I think it's good for young people to learn and experience more outside. I don't find that having kids in the house affects my \"me time\" - I just do what I want to do, whether or not they are at home. I don't (and didn't, once they were in their late-teens) go out of my way to feed them or cater to them. I do cook lunch sometimes, but if I want something simple myself and they don't want the same, they are free to cook or go out.
