Silly puppies

My baking session was interrupted by barking.

Sami is the only barker. Hiro is a whiner/howler and he only does this when Sami leaves him behind or doesn't want to play with him.

Sometimes it's a squirrel or another animals and sometimes passerbyers. I used to be scared of dogs barking behind fences. When I was a child, there was one dog behind a long stretch of fence (houses in Texas have big backyards) around the corner from my house and on the way to the park. One day I was walking with my grandpa to the park. When the dog started barking my grandpa yelled out in a big booming voice "SHUT UP!" The dog immediately ceased barking and let us walk by in silence. My grandpa used to work in railroad construction and had quite a bit of practice yelling over dynamite explosions. In that moment I thought my grandpa was the strongest, most powerful man on earth. Even the scary dog listened to him.

What could Sami be barking at?

About fifteen minutes earlier, Jbear gave each of them a busy bone. Busy bones are treats made of meat wrapped in raw hide. They seem to last longer than most dog treats. Sami's jaws are so strong she chomps, breaks it up and devours it within five minutes. Hiro takes his sweet time licking, chewing, tossing it around and can make it last for half an hour to an hour.

Hiro: Mmmm this bone is soooo delicious!

This is agony for Sami. She can smell the busy bone. She wants the busy bone. Even if its in Hiro's mouth. She has no shame (or adversity to germs).

When he's within reach she climbs all over him and tries to bite the busy bone if its sticking out of his mouth. If he's not within reach, she barks.

Sami: Give it to me!
Hiro: Try to reach me!

What a silly baby. She's greedy. If we give her a treat, she drops it in her safe spot that no one can reach then goes after whatever we are giving Hiro. We try to be fair. But she's the kid that doesn't care about fair. So she barks.

Sami: Look innocent, she's watching.
