Maggie and Charly on barking

I'm conflicted about barking. I want to bark and I want to please, but part of pleasing is doing my job, and on some level, it feels like my job is barking.

I didn't wake up one morning and think, "Maybe I should bark." By the time I identified it as a behavior, it was a part of me. Our Person can't stand it. I can't think of one time I barked (except for asking for food or water) when it actually accomplished anything except irritating our Person..

It did feel right to me though, which is why I have a certain empathy for John Edwards. With respect to evolution, there's no reason for me to go uber-protective and "bark like a maniac," as our Person describes it. Likewise, there's no reason, procreatively, for John Edwards to be wandering, straying, sowing, all that. It must feel to him the way barking feels to me: natural in the moment, but ultimately amounting to nothing more than frenzied chaos. And it irritates people.

Rielle bark like me. on the video shes not sure what shes barking about but john edwards is barking and that makes her bark. i dont understand politics she said me either but sometimes if theres barking then you just start doing it too. and then the other dog stops barking but it takes a while till you figure out that the barking is over and you feel embarrassed and go to your room that's what i do usually.
