    You might remember - the only time I've heard Charlie bark was about six weeks ago. He barked at a wall without a fox on it.

    Was just in the kitchen, heard him baking like mad! Rushed into the front room to see what kind of monster made silent Charlie bark!?!

    He's fast asleep on his back on OH's armchair, barking in his sleep, paws running, madly chasing a dream monster worthy of a bark!

    ::)

    At least I know he can bark!

    We have to buy new curtains for the living room; full-length south-facing windows. I am thinking a lovely creamy gold colour... :)

    Lovely photo of Charlie, bless him for barking in his sleep :) Sam rarely barks , so if he does, its the same reaction from us, panic :) :)

    Just finished decorating our sitting room , all my own work apart from the gloss painting , we had a new carpet laid two days ago as the old one was cream :eek: :eek:

    All my furniture is Chocolate! I bought it long before Charlie was a possibility. My floors are dark wood, and the main rug a muddy green (it's not as horrible as it sounds!). Dog hair? No, never see any around the place.... ;D

    Karen, have you considered taking Poppy to the curtain maker, and just saying "match this"? ;D ;D Like those "we'll match anything" Dulux ads when they introduced colour mixing in the DIY stores (might have just been the UK).

    Doing a full-on bark in your sleep is pretty clever ;D I've only ever heard various "haarruuffs" and squeaky noises out of Obi when asleep.

    Love that pic of him on the chair :)

    It was very cute, really.

    Do you think the are really dreaming? When they do the sleep paw running etc? It's quite lovely to think he is imagining out stripping George on the beach (George is a super fit greyhound, Charlie always gives it his best shot, but never keeps up for long), or finding an enormous rabbit skin tennis ball covered in treats...

    Gosh now, I don't know whether any of the rest of you saw this video?
    I feel guilty about it, but can't help myself from laughing at it. My son sent it with the title "At least Lilly isn't this bad"......

    I confess that I laughed too.... Looked like that doggie was having more of a nightmare than a dream though!!
