I have a recording of my beloved little adopted bossy Dobie, Harp, barking impatiently for her 11am slice of apple. She ran on ahead (passed) in 2016, breaking my heart in two, but I still regularly pull up the video to pull her back into my life. She and I were constantly struggling to grab the wheel and “drive the bus“ when she was alive, and oh how I cherish that bossy bark now! 💙
And you are so correct: The silence after is a violent thing, alas.
That’s awesome that you knew you wanted those sounds. Only last year I was cleaning up my Google Voice account and found a voicemail from my mother from 2011. We had a complicated relationship but somehow I miss the sound of her voice. She’s been gone four years. So every once in a while, I pull it up to hear her.
That’s great! I also have a couple v-mails from my mom talking about 🤦♀️ the weather in Michigan, which I save and listen to sometimes because NOW I miss her telling me what the weather is doing there :)
I’ve always thought one should record their toddlers learning to talk for when the toddlers are adults—that would be fascinating, at least for me it would. A look into their cognitive processes. No kids in my life to do it with and save though, only doggos!! Yay!
“Breeder Humans” Oh lord I like that! My family members were breeders, I guess, and things didn’t turn out very well. That’s one reason I became a 4-legger adopter! They need good homes, and don’t act entitled about them! Sigh. 🌝
Thank you for sharing. Bella is beautiful (I had a Bella, too-fawn Great Dane) and the clip of her bark made me smile. I received my book yesterday and it's great! Looking forward to finishing it soon.
Tears. Thanks for this. My pup is in my lap right now. I want to record her wake-up yawns in the morning, which sound like whines but are just her It's breakfast! sounds, along with her Squirrel Alerts! I already have videos of her organizing the couch pillows just right, and oh so joyous rolling in the grass antics 🐾

Only dogs for me too but yeah, what a great idea for the breeder humans. 😂

This is beautiful. I have recordings of most of my past dogs' barks.
That is wonderful. I hope you listen to them when you need to feel them present.
I do :) those clips make me smile

Oh and the snoring. Don’t miss the snoring! But every time I try, I manage to wake her up.
