Simon Tai Webboard User Reg: 06-02-2010 Posts: 222 Loc: NJ Offline	We were woken up this morning around 5:45am (still dark outside) to a thundering noise. My wife thought something had crashed into our building (we live on the 6th floor) and I thought the fire alarm/bomb siren had gone off. But no, it was Louie howling away at the top of his lungs while laying down by our bed. So totally random. Before this, the most sound he had made was a little whining here and there. My wife had thought that maybe his vocal chords were taken out or something since he doesn't bark. But now we know his vocal chords are justttt fine. We all went back to sleep shortly after and no more howling. I thought maybe he had a nightmare, but I'm just pulling that out of my a$$ there. What do you folks think? Why would he randomly howl... and just once? P.S. I had a GSD mix growing up that would howl when he heard police/ambulance sirens, but Louie doesn't (there's a fire station nearby so we hear plenty of sirens). Louie!

Maybe he heard something, or it was a nightmare, or it was just a good time to howl..who knows! He is sleeping next to your bed at night instead of in his crate? That sounds like good progress

Then one night my neighbor wakes up to her barking her head off. She was barking at the blinking small light in a smoke detector. It took her weeks to figure that out. Who would have ever thought. I think she had to tape the light over with an electrical tape or something.
