Does your dog bark at inopportune times?

Asked by chyna (51629points) March 24th, 2013

My dog seems to start barking when I’m in the shower or getting dressed and can’t really go see what she is barking at. This morning I was all lathered up in the shower and she started her really aggressive barking that told me someone with a machete had just broken in. I jumped out of the shower, grabbed my robe and hairbrush for a weapon and creeped into the living room. She was standing in the window barking, so I looked out to find ducks in my front yard. Not a machete carrying thug.
Does your dog seem to wait until you can’t really do anything to start barking their heads off?
Funny naked stories are most appreciated.

My cat doesn’t bark but all my neighbors’ dogs do.

This is the funniest and I think truest comedy routine I’ve ever heard about barking dogs.

Of course! When I’m on an important business call and trying to sound professional.

When I’m in the loo and can’t leave quickly.

If I’m naked and at the other end of the house from my clothes, that’s apparently a good time to bark as if there is someone at the open front door I have to pass to go back and get my clothes.

When my kids were little I used to go in the bathroom just for a break. They would come pounding on the door. Now my kids are grown and the dogs have to come in and watch me pee. It’s not quite the same but what the heck? Am I destined to never pee in peace?

@chyna: Those ducks were probably trained by @coloma for a stealth attack.

@chyna A hairbrush for a weapon? Where did you learn to fight? You’re better off skipping the robe and hoping to distract an intruder that way.

Sometimes mine will bark one time for nothing. Just be walking by and let loose one big woof that makes me try to figure out what she has seen. I chalk it up to one of those that indicate “I’m bored”

Her only real trigger is when she hears the front door open, slightly irritating but she’s only protecting her territory.
Police believe the weapon used was a hairbrush, they’re currently combing the area for suspects.
