the man whistle...

we have two dogs who are super sensitive to outside noises... loud trucks (esp. UPS)...dogs barking... while i find their whimpers and barks to be a little annoying at times, i guess i'm happy that they are the big wimpy and wouldn't attack a fly protectors of our house...ya know, we have real guard dogs... snarling, foaming at the mouth, pointy canine teeth catching the light just right...the full Monty... :)

on Sunday morning, the most annoying person decided to whistle near our opened windows. we were all working on our yummy breakfast of french toast at the table... i have no idea where this person was (we have neighbors, but they weren't out) ...but every 30 seconds or so, we'd hear the whistle... short whistle, short whistle, and then a little longer whistle... after each man whistle, of course, the dogs would move quickly from room to room to "attack" out the windows or the sliding screen door...

Ry mumbled something about some stupid guy whistling and driving the dogs crazy...

eventually, it stopped...so i figured that the person lost interest in whistling and moved on...

on Tuesday afternoon, i opened the sliding door again because it was getting stuffy...and the whistle started again... i really thought it was a random man... i had NO idea who would be out whistling at 2 in the afternoon... our neighbors are at work then...and our houses/land butt up against a field where horses graze...and another field where cows graze...

i will admit that i was a little nervous thinking "oh man...who IS this person and are they going to try and break in?"

of course, the dogs got up and started their whining/crying, low barks... i scolded them... the whistle stopped...

my fear passed...and we enjoyed the rest of the day... :)

that very same night, we're sitting at dinner...and the whistle started again... after listening for a few seconds, i said to Ry, "is that a bird??" seriously, we sat in silence and listened... (well, almost everyone was quiet - the dogs starting their whine :))...

sure enough, it's a BIRD... and we've heard the man whistle bird several times this week...

now, can i just ask...have you ever heard a bird that whistles like a man????? :) while it's not so cool for people with dogs, it may do wonders for a woman's ego. :)
