Newsflash! Allie Barks!

It finally happened and we were both home to hear it. Allie the beagle finally barked. We put our house up for sale by owner on Monday and we've had a couple groups in for a tour throughout the week. Before they come we put Allie in her crate in the office so she won't drive our potential home buyers away with her nonstop licking. Friday morning we put her away, anticipating our guest any minute. When the doorbell rang we heard this huge "Woof" come from the end of the hall. It was so funny. All this time I guess we've just imagined that Allie's bark would be a dainty little bark and it turns out that it's really a whole lot heaftier than we thought it would be. Apparently she's just very discerning as to when the appropriate times are to use that big voice. I guess we're lucky that way. It could be a whole lot worse!
