We were making dinner Sunday night and getting to that really crucial time.
You know that time where the last 2 minutes of a meal that you’ve been preparing for well over an hour can make or break the whole meal.
Well we were there when we heard this sound.
It’s a sound that normally wouldn’t make us stop in our tracks but it’s also a sound that we haven’t heard in quite some time.
Woof.
Then a little louder.
Woof. Woof.
Then a little louder with some more power behind it.
WOOF. WOOF. WOOF.
We stepped away from the kitchen and into the front room because enough though we knew the sound well, we wanted to see it in action.
And there it was.
Mr. Leroy standing at the front door barking at a passerby.
It was music to our ears.
A little off key but music nonetheless…… and it didn’t stop there.
Later that evening he was in the backyard with his big off key bark letting the neighborhood know he was back.
Welcome back Mr. Leroy. We have a long way to go but we’re glad you’re back in the game.
More of an update here.

So glad to hear of Leroy's continuing improvement! Who would believe a bark could be such a wonderful sound?! Sometimes when I take Bug to the vet because she's just a bit "off" but nothing serious yet I'll mention "and she isn't barking". Most people would be thrilled their dog's being quiet! We've now learnt that she stops barking when the tummy cramps start. Then when she's finished her treatment and I phone the vet to tell her Bug's now ok and she's barking again we know she's better and over that episode. I never thought I'd be happy to tell someone my dog is barking! So I totally understand what a moment this was ;)
