Exactly! They bark because the intruder is in their space. After I tell Jilly it's "OK," and tell her the person's name, she stops and sniffs around them.
Jilly "talks" a lot. She mumbles and grumbles and snicks. She plays with toys and has a collection of favorites in her blanket on the sofa.
Scooter doesn't talk much, but she can bark loud if she isn't getting attention when she asks for it. Scooter dances. She has a spot on the floor almost like a stage, and she dances and spins for attention if it's her mealtime.
They love to go out in the car. As soon as I put on shoes (I'm usually barefoot!), they go bananas, talking and jumping.
The little terrors are really smart and I couldn't ask for more adorable little "girls."
