A Doggy Duet
This seems incomplete, but I'm not really sure. Chloe, as a younger dog and today. Our plott hound Chloe has taken upon herself the task of protecting our home from invaders. Children on bicycles, people strolling by our house, even sometimes, I think, ants tunneling in the ground all earn a vigorous round of barking. And then there’s our mail carrier. She deserves three rounds of barking. One for when she parks her truck beside our house, one for when she delivers the mail on the other side of the street, and one for when she actually reaches our house (this last accompanied by frantic scratching at the door). But lately the hound side of Chloe’s pedigree is beginning to show itself. Instead of barking, she has taken to uttering plaintive wails, much like a coyote, with her head thrown back and her eyes shut.
