Conversations with Brooklyn

One of the best traits of the Malamute is that they aren't real barkers. They, more or less, do a half-howl "wooo-wooooooo" that just makes you smile and laugh. Brooklyn's knocked her water bowl over before and I  give her a stern, "Brooklyn. No. Don't do that." She in turns says, "Wooooo-wooooooooooo." Now, at this point, I just laugh. I can't help it. Then we're back on good terms again. LOL

I'm definitely not the first to say this about their dog, but she really is like a person to me. She talks to me. She gets the last word in and many Malamute owners will tell you this. In conversations, she will almost always have the last howl in. It's simply too funny.

Some days, she talks a lot. Wherever we go, she is talking. Some days, she barely talks except for when I give  her the signal or command to speak. Most days, she is so quiet that you barely notice that the 95 pounder is there on premise. Most dogs give warning barks. Brooklyn, she just stares at you and with her wolf like appearance, this extremely gentle giant is a softy baby at heart.  Especially with kids, she is very very gentle, recognizing that they are little people.

I am a lucky mama.
