Howling ?!
« on: October 18, 2018, 09:14:05 PM »
Does anyone's cocker howl when they play with a squeeky toy?? I rotate leos toys (he has about 1000 toys  :005: )
Recently I found a blue squeeky ball which he looovvveeesss.. the last few nights he grabs it to play with and inbetween squeaking he starts grumbling away at it and then breaks out into a full harmony of howling. He's never howled in his life!

Hilarious and just want to know if others do the same. (Also want to just make sure that it isn't a sign he's distressed or anything... it's a very loud squeek!)

No, Jack has complete disinterest in toys of any kind.  He occasionally howls like a banshee in the middle of the night - and he sleeps in the kitchen so you get the full echo chamber effect... 

Have no idea what the cause is.  Just a bad dream I expect.  First time it happened I had a brown trouser moment as I woke and thought my end was nigh...  Now I just ignore him (as much as you can ignore a wailing dog).  Usually lasts 5-10 seconds then back to sleep...

Dylan sometimes howls in his sleep. He lifts his head and gives the most plaintive heart rending howl for about a minute, doesn?t wake him up, just settles back down in his sleep. He sleeps in the bedroom so it wakes us up, probably about once a month. He doesn't know he's doing it, bit like talking in your sleep I suppose.

Bea grumbles in play, it's almost as if she is telling her toys / human off.

Maybe he just loves the noise and wants to join in  :005:

I have one that howls in her sleep and is completely unaware of it.
Bramble has never howled until last week. We were sat outside a cafe and a car alarm went off, she just sat and howled like a banshee much to the amusement of other visitors!

Its cute but a word of warning. Arvy likes to howl at people to get their attention and because a lot of people think its cute he does it a lot, so much I sometimes avoid the neighbours because I can't hear them over the top of him. Best not pay too much attention or you could end up with a hound of the Baskervilles like me

We were at. Highland show once with our five Scotties, and as the pipe bands marched past us in the ring they all howled in unison. The crowd were in hysterics  :lol: . Mind you, bagpipes at close range make me want to howl too  :005:

Haha it is truly hysterical 
I will listen to your warning keresleykate. I'm trying not to pay too much attention and have a little giggle to myself when he does it.
He's only doing it when he plays with that one particular ball but he does look truly satisfied with himself when he does haha
