Hush-a-bye puppy
Here on the bed
No need for barking
Lay down your head
I know it’s scary
When everything’s dark
But Daddy’s still grading,
Puppy, don’t bark!
On the plus side, no burglar will ever come within 50 feet of the house without the dogs barking their heads off. On the minus side, I will have habituated to this barking, and will sleep soundly while the burglar relieves us of our valuables. On the plus side, we have no valuables. On the minus side, we have no valuables.

Heh–that's right, you've seen my dog! Being Australian would explain so much of his behavior: tell him to stay, he goes; tell him to be quiet, he barks; tell him to go away, he stays by your side. It's like he's on the wrong side of the planet!

I thought dingos didn't bark. Or is some other, louder, Australian dog?

My dog looks a bit like an Australian Kelpie, but a bit smaller. We have a couple of Kelpies in the area (beautiful dogs!) that look like they could be his older brothers.Dingos, on the other hand, are creatures of myth, like drop-bears, wallabies, and Rolf Harris.

Rolf Harris is mythical? Does this mean I have to give up my wobble-board?

Remember, as the Catholics tell us, just because something or someone is mythical, does not mean they are not real.I think they are mostly talking about Rolf Harris, but I could be wrong. "Nayle me son to a cross, boss-Nayle me son to a cross!It won't be much of a loss, boss,Just nayle me son to a cross!"
