Is there some form of higher injustice in the world? Maybe there is a supreme being and S/He has a sense of humor. If so, the joke escapes me.

Have you noticed that when you talk for a long time you get a sore throat? And if you yell loudly or tolk loudly for a while you may lose your voice?

Why doesn't that happen with dogs?

Our neighbor has a dog that has suddenly had to move to a doghouse outdoors. As a result that dog has decided to spend its days and nights barking. The dog isn't barkng AT anything. It's just barking, a continuous nagging bark that goes on and on.

The other night I leaned out the back door and yelled at the dog. She shut up for a second and then, I swear I'm not making this up, she answered me with two lower pitched woofs. Then she went back to her perpetual barking.
