Love reading these cute stories! I love Yorkie barking - shows an attitude. Hehehe. Thankfully I live in a house & don't have to worry about someone on the other side of the wall like in an apartment so I let Tibbe bark a good bit if he wants. He chews out the garbage truck, traffic in the street, school kids walking by the front window, squirrels and cats, postman and all the delivery men - and all visitors until they come through the door. A good round of barking seems to relax him and after a few minutes of barking, then grousing, then growling and then snorting, he decides he's had his say and settles down. But if any of those people he barked at comes in the house, Tibbe is Greeter #1, fawning all over them. So I kind of just let him go & say his piece about whatever is different or new since he doesn't bark forever.
