Janie, our daughter, is one of the funniest people I know. At the ripe old age of four she keeps me, and anyone else within ear shot, laughing all the time. Most recently she has started getting really concerned about our dog Charlie. She is convinced that he has something wrong with him and insists on finding out the problem. According to Janie, Charlie isn’t barking enough and she wants to know who can help her with her dog health questions. She has literally pulled out her doctors kit in an attempt to “fix” Charlie and his barking dilemma. When I asked Janie why it was so important for him to bark she very matter of factly stated, “barking is how Charlie talks, if he doesn’t bark how will I know what he wants”.
