Apparantly.
Chelsea is a little up market.
Barking is nearer
(not joking, look it up)
Now they're lighting up and making small woof.
This really will not do.
Must be the Chinese quarter.
This thread has brought up entire avenues of philosophical questions.
If a dog barks in the distance, and there is no one there to hear him, has he really made a sound?
Does the breed of dog make a difference in the ominousness of the sound? Would a mini poodle barking send the same shivers up your spine as a rottweiler? Is there a correlation between the frequency response of the individual bark, and its tendency to cause anxiety amongst people who hear it?
Which is more frightening, a dog barking, or a wolf howling? What if the animal is a hybrid wolf?
Do snakes hissing, bats swishing through the air, or tigers padding through the forest cause more dread than dogs barking?
Think about it. These are important questions, that need to be addressed!
One thing I do know, our dog does not howl. It seems he doesn't know how. He does however, bark whenever he sees dogs on television, or polar bears, not of the Bi variety though.

Only if it was a bitch

Yes

I like rotties

proportional to the inverse square of the distance the root of the frequency.

My wife howling

Well it would woof in a strange dialect of woofy.

now your being silly. Tigers dont pad. They go GERRRREWWWWRRRRRREAAWWWRRRR.
That reminds me of Cujo; anyone remember him? I don't think I'd want to hear him barking in the distance.
I would say the scariest sound is the mailman swishing an official audit notice into your mailbox.
Yeah cav, that is very scary.
I hear they pore over chef's returns with a magnifying glass,,,
Buahhhh haaaa haaaaa
No, panzade, that's just to find their penises. Thankfully, I have not been audited...yet.
I start a legitimate thread because I needed answers to a very puzzling question. I come back to check these answers and your guys are talking about the penises of tax men.
Who started this? Panzade? Phoenix?
Damn, I'm pissed right now.
It seems more like a 'muzzling' problem gus.
I've been recruited by Slappy and unnamed abuzzers to sabotage your threads Gus. They' holding my Shih-tsu hostage...I can explain...
I just ran upstairs because I heard a noise. I turned off the stereo and leaned out the window. Nothing. Not a bird chirped. Not a single car drove by. Nary a chainsaw roared.
But then I heard it... in the distance.... a dog barking.

Extra fiber will clear up that problem.
I wonder if that dog was barking in the distance because the wind just blew panzade's trailer house over.
You ok, panzade?
It was drom's dog gustav. He's calling you. He needs to poop.
