This is Sugarbear, our beloved old girl… I thoroughly appreciate the fact that she barks to alert me that people are here; however , even after everybody knows that someone is here, she will continue to bark until she feels better about it. It’s almost like it’s a reflex, to bark as she does! Like she can’t help but to bark for 20 minutes over the fact that the neighbors just got home! LOL we love her, just the same <3
