Cute stories y'all got!!
My very first dog, Heidi, a mixed terrier/daschund, knew we all were Deaf. Well, get this! This bugger of a dog wasn't going to waste her vocal chords barking at us when she begged for treats when we all sat down to eat. Know what she'd do?! She had a knack for getting our attention because back then I could hear almost like a hearing person but now late-deafened, she would bark
but no "Arf! Arf!" came out!! She learned quickly that we all relied on visuals so she wasn't going to break a sweat barking. Simply yap her mouth with no voice and we think she's barking.Never ever leave a delicious sandwich with deli meats inside or she will snatch it off the table and leave the bread there! Damn bugger was so smart and I miss her!
