As it happens, I wrote a short story (a mere 1,800 words) in 2003 called "The Terrier Who Couldn't Bark" narrated by a Jack Russell whose human-type name is ‘Chili' but his ‘dog name’ is…"well, you probably wouldn’t understand it unless you speak “Dog” so I’ll just say that it means 'Dog-that’s-always-alert-and-never-lets-anything-go-on-unless-I’m-there-to-supervise.'" I'll be happy to send this to anyone who likes a good dog-tale. Chili is nudged along by a doxie named Herman —whose name in dog language means “Dog-that-barks-at-the-door-and-runs-around-the-room-like-mad-for-5-minutes-for-no-obvious-reason”—who barking at him to get on with the story. .. as they discover the wondrous non-barker, Ziggy. <jveeds@yahoo.com>
