Pet World: Adopter says she was told her dog ‘did not bark’
By Cathy M. Rosenthal
Dear Cathy,
I adopted a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix earlier this year. I was told she “did not bark.” When she first arrived, she did not bark very much, but now she doesn't stop. We live on a somewhat busy street. She barks at everything and everyone. I have tried using noise spray cans, telling her to be quiet, shaking cans of coins and anti-bark machines. I had the opportunity to move into a senior housing complex but refused because one of their rules is no barking dogs.

Resembling prayer hands, they were so aptly named for their expression of foliage folding together at night.
