We rarely hear a peep out of Gertie, but Ida more than makes up for it! She barks more and more. I am trying to break her of this habit, because I really can't stand barking! It's one thing to alert us if someone is at the door, which she doesn't bother doing, but she barks and barks at Gertie! If they both have the identical same thing to chew on, she wants Gertie's. Instead of chewing on her own, she sits and barks at Gertie while Gertie's chewing away, ignoring her completely. It's driving me nuts! Anyone have a good suggestion as to how to make her SHUT UP?!?
