The noises a sheltie makes

So my 6mth old Sheltie, Sabrina, got a new nickname - "E.T." She grunts and makes the sounds E.T. (from the movie) makes. She makes so many different sounds it is hysterical.

If you rub her belly or pick her up it is the E.T. sound.

If she is playing with my labrador, she is making a funny growling sound.

If I tell the lab not to do something, Sabrina barks loudly at me telling me to stop telling the lab what to do...

If she is jumping up to catch the tennis ball or a fly/bumblebee it is a grunt sound.

If she is waiting for her breakfast/dinner, it is a high pitched bark along with dancing feet that can't sit still. Luckily she is not a spinner...

I knew they were talkative and knew she would bark at things. I just didn't expect all the extra funny noises. I just love this puppy... :winkgrin:
 
Spitfire is a huge grumbler. If he had not earned his proper name he might have wound up as grumble. Sca only barks.
 
Blaze chirps in various octives (besides his play-growls, barks--only recently, whines, grumble, happy yaps--done in a series.)

I think I HAVE heard the ET noise--if its sort of a low open-mouthed trilling

Franklin is our most vocal Sheltie. He groans like an old man when he settles in his bed, cries pathetically when you don't pay him enough attention -- and for the record, with Franklin, there's never enough attention :wink2: -- and he sings. It's not a howl, it's almost as if he's running the scales. He's got a little growl for people who won't pet him, too. :winkgrin:
 
Zulu groans like an old man too when he settles down. He is also getting pretty good at "sheltie talk". Yip, yip, grrrrowl, yip, woof!
