I have a situation here which I am not sure about so I look for advice.
I have two little furbutts one male (Raggs) five months old the other female (Ruby) six months old.
They just love each other and play non stop all day long and this is where my problem is.
Raggs is an extremely vocal dog when playing. I am not talking about Barking but geezzz...he growls all the time when wrestling Ruby.
If you did not know them and heard the noise I would not blame you for thinking they were fighting.
Once the wrestling stops they both go into "chase" mode and now the fun really starts.
Raggs chases Ruby and I have never seen anything faster on four legs.
During the chase he has this strange noise he makes. It is not a growl or a bark. It is not even a Yap but is best described as a mixture of all.
Again, those who can not see what's going on would think I am being cruel and he is hurt.
After a time of Hide and go seek the chaser changes to Ruby who is always in silent mode but Raggs continues his strange noise.
This play can go on for an hour or so then they both collapse in a heap cuddled up together and sleep.
Now the reason I post this item.
I had a visit from the RSPCA who said it was a routine visit and asked if they could see my dogs.
During the inspection they both took off in a fantastic chase game and the RSPCA Inspector could not move for laughing.
There was Raggs with his toy in his teeth running like hell and making this strange noise.
The Inspector then looked at their sleeping quarters and outside pen and said it was an amazing set up for two little dogs.
I asked about the reason for his visit today and he said that he had to respond to a "possible cruelty" report.
He left saying he had never seen two dogs so happy in all his career.
Do any of you have this noise with your furbutts ???? if so do you stop it or not. ????
The photographs show the outside pen used when we have to leave them home during the day.
The other is their sleeping pen in the house ,
