Grumple

Harry has bounced back from his recent health problems quite well. He still limps and he's had to get used to shorter walks, but he's happy. Recently he's become a little more vocal. I don't mean he barks. Harry rarely barks. If he catches anybody getting out of vans filled with bottles who audaciously try to appropriate the empty bottles from our step... then he might have a go. Or if strange blokes bearing ladders and buckets start dabbing our windows with damp cloths... well then surely he's allowed a few vocal outbursts. No, I mean he makes more grumbly noises than he used to, usually because he wants stuff clearing from his next settling point, or if folk insist on eating buttered toast without offering it up to him entirely. Or if you stop scratching his ears too early... if there is such a thing.

  3. Awww, sweet. Funnily enough, one of my cats grumbles a bit too. Maybe it's a sign of age... My Dad does it quite frequently! Hehe.

  6. We've noticed that dogs become more vocal as they get older and perhaps wiser. Hope Harry is fully recovered now, poor boy - I'm sure a slice of buttered toast would perk him up no end ;-)

  7. I agree with wolfy...he certainly deserves his own piece of toast. I mean, how could you refuse with that soulful expression looking you in the eyes. He's just beautiful. Really.
