Last month TW started saying Jake was also deaf (Jake is the black dog, his mother Chanel is the old and very deaf almost dead blonde dog). I didn’t believe her because he mostly responds to your voice and he was barking when people he did not like came to the door. Stuff like that.
On New Year’s Eve, when the fireworks started, he didn’t make a sound. Hmm, maybe she’s right. But no, he barked at the doorbell on Sunday. Last night, when the Gator Mania started, he never made a sound. For 3 hours while the city celebrated (and I tossed and turned and could not sleep due to all of the celebration) the dog never made a sound – except for some snoring and deep breathing.
The dogs, they’re both deaf and last night I was glad – fireworks and horn honking and airhorns are bad enough, dogs barking outside your bedroom door are worse.
I heard about the win on the news today. I figured you guys had a loud night.
Old deaf Buddy, who did not react to the fireworks on New Year’s Eve this time, was very aggitated by the thunderstorm yesterday. I’m pretty sure it was because the house trembled with each boom,and because of the light show, not because he “heard” anything at all.
