Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Dsc02119 This is one of those "someone’s got to think about these things" posts. Sandy recently posted about the dogs in her neighborhood, who seemed to work out a schedule so that one of them was barking at any given time. We live up a mountain and sound carries. Often we’ll hear a dog from further up the mountain and Grace will respond with a woof. The next dog down hears Gracee and starts in. You can hear it for miles each dog passing the message like a canine version of the telephone game. I wonder, I just wonder if that message was carried 3243.9 miles (hey Sandy, that’s how far apart we live), dog-to-dog, to Sandy’s house. Somebody’s got to think about these things.

Here’s Grace taking her turn in the game, this time competing with fire trucks.

    We have barking dog neighbors too. They like to bark at 5 in the morning every day. Luckily mine don’t bark when the other dogs bark which is surprising because it seems like they bark at every noise they hear.

    Is this why Fig just meowed in the direction of North?
    We live that far away, eh? Seems kinda far! 🙂
    I love your doggie theory. Makes the incessant barking more tolerable now, if I think of the miles and miles of doggies playing telephone.
    Gracie is just adorable!

    Aww-She looks so cute! I know what you mean – we have a condo in the white mountains and in the morning this dog starts barking early! I swear she thinks shes a rooster-so anyways our two dogs hear her and start, then the others in our building start – ANNOYING! but oh so cute- what else do they really have besides snuggles, bones and long walks? We love them anyways ❤

    Your post reminds me of 101 Dalmations. Remember the barking chain? I don’t remember what they called it, but all the dogs were passing the message of where Pongo and Perdita’s kidnapped pups were.

    See that’s what it is, all these dogs that have mothers that blog are barking each other instructions! I’m sure Abner’s in that chain somewhere.
