Mommy - Where's that BIG Dog Bark Comin' From?

[Maggie's Mommy]

My baby, Zinser, will turn 18 weeks old this Sunday and he's growing into a fine young gentleman. He's starting to "fill out" and he's changing almost daily in looks, color, and how he's carrying himself about the house.

This morning, he decided he was going to get big sister, Maggie, up from a peaceful night's sleep and started barking and woo-wooing at her. Zin's first barks were kind of high pitched, but as he continued barking, they got a bit deeper. Zin stopped as soon as he heard the "big dog" barking. He runs the the full-length mirror in my bedroom and starts looking for the big dog. Not finding that dog who is barking, Zin turns back to the bed and begins barking at Maggie. Again, the big dog bark is happening. After about 5 minutes of hearing the big dog bark, Zin finally realized that it is coming from him! He absolutely is loving his more "mature" voice and ran around the house barking at everything he could...with the deep woof, woof and even deeper woo-wooing.

My baby is growing up...

This just happened to Tyson the other night. He will be 18 weeks old tomorrow. My friends came over and had rang the door bell. Tyson has never barked when the door bell rings, but I heard this deep growl and then bark come from behind me. At first I thought it was our new puppy, whom I haven't heard bark yet, but I turn around and there's Tyson w/ his big boy bark!!

My Daisy rarely barks, however, I do remember the first time we heard her "big dog" bark.

She was about 6 months old when something caught her attention outside, ( probably vermin ( raccoon, skunk or cat )). Anyways, me and wife were absolutely startled... it took a few minutes for us to believe those loud barks were coming from our little baby!

Awww how sweet!!!
Keno is 6 mos old today and I can remember when he started barking the big dog bark...it was so cute! What's even funnier is how Daisy (Jack Russell) tries to change her little bark to a bigger deeper one !! She is such a copycat, I swear! She even does the woowoo now when Keno is doing it !! (I'm sure Keno thinks he lives with a really short little boxer,but if only he knew she is actually a Jack Russell! haha!!)

Sammy didn't bark a lot when he was little, but when he did, he thought he was so cool. Now when he barks, like at a bag in the back yard, he'll continuely keep barking even after the bag has flown away. So strange. It is as if he can't stop once he starts.
