I finally heard it!

I was outside this afternoon putting away the recycling bins and Molly was in the house. Hearing me, she started whining, then suddenly a big ARRROOOO! My baby found her howl!! What a sound

Happy Howlidays!

Best sound in the world. Congratulations.

Awww... lucky you... how nice is that?!!

I wish my two would howl - our previous Bassets have but we've never heard Lucie and Lottie and they're 2yrs 6mths old!!

Yay for howlings!!! I've been howling at Virga to see if she'd copy me but no luck yet. She almost does it when she's in her kennel and she hears us moving around. Almost but not quite.

Thanks all! Molly is not one to bark, unless she is playing (or being told no, then her sassy side comes out). She doesn't even bark when the doorbell rings. So I doubt I'll hear much of the howling. Famous last words, right? It was good to hear her do it though. I didn't know she had it in her!

Never give up! A few months ago I moved my answering machine into the living room, where Lightning can now hear it. At 12 years old, he started howling along to my outgoing message. The only time he'd ever howled before was if Stomps started it. But Stomps has been gone for a year and a half now, and I despaired of ever hearing the sound again. So now I screen all my calls just to hear Lightning howl.

A sound that will always put a smile on your face...

Yay, how fun!

We've been howling for Fergus in hopes that he'll copy us. So excited for you! What fun!
