Lily was a small, quiet dog. She got quieter as she got older. She barked for awhile when she dislocated her hip and had to be put in a cage, and if she was left alone in a strange place she would bark. Overall, though she wimpered to get your attention or quite frankly most of the time just sat and stared at you, silent.
How could a dog and life of a dog be so loud!
No tick tick tick on the kitchen floor from her nails.
No chink chink of her tags on her collar as she went up and down the stairs.
No lapping at the water bowl sound.
No slamming sound of the sliding door we let her in and out of the kitchen.
No snorting/sniffing sound by the garage door, yes she did this if we were home too!
The best of all sounds, the thud of the small 7 pound dog leaping off the bed, sounded like a 30 pound animal!
And sadly, the last sound we had gotten used to, her coughing.
It is still pretty amazing how quiet it is!
