Yappy Dogs

When I went for my walk these yappy little dogs were waiting for me. They hear me coming before they can see me and bark as long as I’m in sight. I guess they’re bored and waiting for a little excitement. I don’t mind. They’re cute , but gosh they can bark loud. I snapped a picture so you can see how cute they are.

Oh, Ruby! They are adorable, and I'm so glad you got the picture. I just want to pick them up, and snuggle them. Yes, little dogs can definitely be yappy. Everyone was always amazed my dogs weren't yappy at all, because Chihuahuas are known to be like that. For some reason, my dogs never did. It's sweet that you can look past that annoying behavior. I hope the rest of your walk went well.

@RubyHawk Yes, I was worried about that when I first moved into an apartment. I'm very lucky that my neighbor's dog doesn't bark either.

@AmbiePam My next door neighbor has a dog and he occasionally barks but nothing to complain about.

I don’t mind. It’s an everyday thing.I might mind if they were near my apartment! but they’re cute when I’m just passing by. You were lucky tours didn’t bark. There might have been complaints from neighbors.

They are cute dogs and the smaller the dog the louder the bark.

Dogs can be very loyal companions in the house and it is such a relief having them around to play with you or just be a companion when you want some quiet time with them.

@RubyHawk Indeed that is truly a big responsibility since you need a lot of things for them. The food, medicines, and the vet as well.

Not a fan of happy dogs, unless they're quiet.

@RubyHawk I lived with a few as a kid. While cute, they would bark at everything.

@kaylachan Some dogs are restless and bark at the slightest thing.

If they bark just because... then they aren't cute.

@DaddyEvil I don’t think so, they’ve been there a long time. It’s near the nature trail and not many people walk there. I think they only bark when someone passes by and I’m that someone.

They have good hearing. They start barking before I get in sight and long after I’m gone.

In my apartment complex there is a two-bedroom unit I pass on the way to the bus. Two female teacup Yorkies that look like the dogs in your photo bark at me from the top apartment, and right below them, two male Bichon Frises bark at me from the apartment below. I always say something like, "Yes, hello to you, too."

@RubyHawk Me either. It seems nearly everyone in the village has a small dog or two but most don't bark a lot.

I suppose so. We had large dogs and they never barked unless they were at the park chasing a squirrel.

@RubyHawk When I went to see the apartment we are moving to there was a dog barking and I made a comment and said that it would not bother me. There is a dog that barks here where we live too. Maybe they want to be inside where the action is or maybe just want attention. Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons that I will never know why. They are cute. Maybe they just want to bark at you to say hello and want you to talk to them.

Most dogs bark.But I’m glad those little yapping fellas don’t live near me. I suppose the owners work and leave the dogs on the deck during the day. They’re cute little dogs.

@Hannihar They like to see anything moving they can bark at. They don’t have enough space to run around in.

@RubyHawk When I had my dog I loved to take her with me places but not all loved that I did. Maybe if you go past there enough the dogs will get to know you and not bark at you. They are cute and that could be. That is nice that they can get air.

They do look cute, but I'm afraid of dogs. Because in my country, most of the people here don't have dogs.

I think more people here don’t have dogs than do, but a good many do have pets. I’m not afraid of dogs but I don’t have a pet. It’s a big responsibility that I don’t want.

@RubyHawk My Great Uncle used to deliver milk and he had one that was always yapping at him nipping at his heels. He once whacked it with a milk bottle, and the dog caused him no trouble after that...lol.
