A Dog That Doesn't Bark

THANK HEAVENS, A DOG THAT DOESN'T BARK

You know that anger inducing habit that all dogs are born to do that really makes you want to practice field goal kicking? I'm not talking stooling or puppy urination, or parvo and flea infestation (that rhymes). I'm talking about all that barking. Bark, bark, [ insert cuss word or lengthy anger display comment here, your choice], bark. Well, I think God answered a collective prayer to those of you who do not like all the barking. Actually, you can pick one of two; the African Wild Dog and/or the basenji. I know, wierd word. Still, the basenji is a small dog that has a copper coat and is oh-so-silky. The down side? The freakin' thing yodels instead when it gets excited. Don't ask me what it does if you rub its stomach. I wonder if the females produce a honeysuckle odor when they go into heat.
