Who needs adorable animal antics? You do! You can find little howlers at r/tinyawoos and lots of gamboling at r/Zoomies.

Sound: The teeniest tiniest awoo
Motion: Play with me

The teeniest tiniest awoo

That's "awoo mlem mlem mlem mlem mlem mlem awoooo". The most adorable thing I've ever seen, really.

I've taught dogs to howl whose owners have hated me afterward because before ambulance sirens meant nothing but afterward....

I digress.

hippybear, you're good people. Every good pupper should awoo.

(The best lesson I can give is to do a wolf howl and not a coyote howl. Start low and keep out of your falsetto if you can. Make it resonate, not just be shrill.)

Ah, so much poig at the memories of Rory, our poor golden cocker boy who had to be put down at just over a year when his SOA started to really manifest. In happier times he'd sing along to my sister, then in training as an soprano. Pie Jesu from Lloyd Webber's Requiem is not complete without a small doggo — head thrown back, neck stretching, ears rolled, lips pursed forward, eyes closed in ecstasy — aoooo oooo oooo … urr urr urr as antiphon to my sister.

Zoomies are sometimes "fun" in my house. I have a whole folder of these. This guy looooves pounding around on the hardwood.

I am shocked—shocked—to find that gamboling is going on in here!
