Aaarroooooo!
Anyone who’s never heard a cow moo knows what it sounds like. Maybe not in real life, but they know.
They know that a cat says, “Meow” and a duck says, “Quack” and a snake says, “Hssssssss”.
Yes, humans are gifted with other humans who teach them from a very early age what sounds animals make.
When it comes to dogs, though, humans are getting it all wrong. Some dogs might say, “Ruff Ruff” or “Woof Woof” but, for the life of me, I can’t understand why humans don’t teach “Arooo ROOOOO!” (Really, have you ever heard a dog say, “Ruff Ruff”? I haven’t. “Woof Woof” maybe, but not “Ruff Ruff.”)
This, my friends, is what dogs really say. And you don’t have to hear it to know what it sounds like:
Roo RooooOOOO to you!
And this:
RooooOOOO OOOO!
And this:
Beginning of an Aroo Roooo…..
And this:
Aroooo RooOOOOOO!
And not to mention this:
See? You don’t have to hear it to know what it sounds like!
What You Learned Today:
- Cats say “meow”
- Ducks say “quack”
- Snakes say “hsssss”
- Spiders say “ “
- Baby birds say “cheep cheep”
- Dogs say “Aroo Roo”
- And that’s all there is to it.
- Oh. And pigs don’t say “oink oink,” they say, “grunt grunt”
REMINDER: TIME TO VOTE Go here to cast one of your last votes for me in the Thundershirt contest. Contest ends tomorrow and I only need, uh, oh, around 5,300 votes to win. Thanks so much!
Boxers say “woo woo”!
How could I forget the “woo woo”??? Thank you Casey!
Stuart, I could eat you all up! You’re soooooo cute!!
I know. Ain’t it great? Actually, I think the Lion said that in The Wizard of Oz.
AroOOOO! Thank youOOOOO!
Arrroooo!!

ROOOOOOOOOO to you Miss Jazzi!
We get told to ‘cool’ the yodeling sometimes. Not me(mac) as much as Lucy. Her ‘rooos’ turn into loooong yodels. Really great lungs we scotts have !!
Stewart you are such a cutie, oops, handsome fella!!
ahroOoOoO(LUCY) AHroooooo (Mac)
* my friend from Germany told me their dogs say’ voolf voolf’ !
Now that makes sense. The “voolf voolf” part. I yodel when fire trucks come by or when the peeps want to join in on a loooong ArooOOOOOOO! We do it together.
I love your post, you are soon cute
….. But us Beardies definitely say Rrrrruffff, rrrruuuffff. Mum says we should be called Barkies not Beardies …come by for a visit:-)
Well now, I stand corrected! Ruff Ruff it is for some. I love to learn….
Will pop over soon. Thanks for the visit!
Arooo Roo to you, Ruff Ruff pal!
Who says peeps are dumb. I’ve trained mine and they know:
- I’m hungry
- there’s a rabbit just outside
- I’m really hungry
- the garbage truck is here
- I’m famished
- there’s a strange dog outside
- come here and feed me this instant
They’ve learned the little nuances in my speech.
GOOD LORD! It’s funny you should say this my Kyla friend. After lunch earlier, which was my 5th small plate of the day, I told Them:
– Give me some more
– It’s time to play, so come up here from your basement office
– It’s time to play again (plus, you need the exercise, so climb those stairs again)
– Now, come get me because the stairs are too steep and it’s time for a nap under your desk
Yes. The Scottie speech nuances are many and varied. I think you and I should teach a communications class about this.
ArooO, Stu
Oh wow – we just adooooore that first picture! Our proper Mom Arooooo’d like no business, any time, any day, but we boys only Aroo when the Ice-Cream Van visits our village, or the “rag & bone man” collecting metal bits. We wish (for Her sake) that we Aroooo’d more, but we’re boys …..
Any way, Aroooo from Bobby & Finlay
You know what? BoBo, my predecessor, didn’t roo at all. Not a word. Be careful of those Ice-Cream Van visits. Kyla will run you for a cone!
AROO to you Stuart.We really don’t aroo. We just give long speeches. Love Sid and Shelby
And carefully worded speeches they are I’m sure!
Bites is really good with Arooooo’s, like when dad comes home, there he goes and when they play he gets really carried away with them, Me not so much.
Your Fruends
Susie & recliner Bites
Bites the Recliner is also a talker? I’m not surprised! ROOOO Roooo! Stu
SHE used to have an Irish Wolfhound that was on eye level with a friend’s 2-year old. Whenever you asked the kid what dogs say, she’d pant!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
That would be true! Roo. Pant. Woof.

As for me, and you know how much I like to make noise, all I could do was whimper with joy when my Mama came home this evening from her looooong trip. I was so happy that I am completely exhausted now. Time for a nappy.
ArooOOOOo rOOOOooooo! But we had such nice butt sniffing time, you managed to stay calm and carry on whilst your peep was away!
I enjoyed this wonderful lesson in doggie language very much Stuart.
ArrrOOOOO to you and yours! Thanks again for letting Us link to your garden hose information. That would be a BIG arooooo!
I don’t Arrooo much to be honest… My human calls me her “little grunter” ‘cos I grunt a lot, when getting a good scratch, when I want attention, when I want food, you know, the usually times we need to make a point!
Grunting is perfectly acceptable my friend! Whatever works I always roo.
Stuart…we are starting to get a little jealous of you…whenever we all sit down to read your posts mom “oohs” and “aahs” about how cute you are *hurrumph* today’s post did not help ‘cos even we have to admit how sweet you look with your “aroooorooo” face on.
Licks,
Wally & Sammy
Aw, it’s nothing. Really.
roo. roo. to you.
definitely arooorooo…and at our house sometimes it’s aroooo-ooo-ooooo-ooo.
Sooooo glad yours are long arooooooooooos! Yippee!
Until you, I had no idea Scotties said arrrroooo. And to think, I grew up with two of them!! Mr. Fox makes all kinds of interesting whining noises!
Alyssa, Mr. Fox & Scruffy
Ain’t noises great? Y’all have a good holiday weekend!
Aroo. To You. And You. And You. And You.
My dog barks like that every time my son cries. And she is a Spanish dog, so the aroooo is extra loud, like everything here in Spain! Congrats for your funny post, will think of it next time my son and dog start a concert togehter.
