The Bully Effect

It's the phenomenon that occurs in at least once a day in my house. It doesn't take much to start this phenomenon & it can happen at any time of day. I call it the Bully Effect.

It's when one bully will hear something (car door slam, rustle of a bag, cat jumping off the bed) & that one bully (usually Howie) will start barking & running towards the noise. Then the other two will join in the barking & all 3 will be running around, usually towards the back door, looking to bark the noise back to where it belongs.

One time, Vivi was barking in her sleep....that bark prompted Howie to start barking & of course Doc joined in & then Vivi woke up to help out! Ha!
