EllenEveBaz Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Ever since Milo had his first tooth extraction a few years ago, he has had the softest, most gentle, occasional snore. It's adorable. Gelsey makes a unique sound -- I can't think of a word to categorize it. She does it sometimes when she's yawning -- it's like the sound of air brakes combined with nails-on-a-chalkboard. Bad enough under regular circumstances, but when she really gets some air into it, like when she's stretching and yawning at the same time -- it's enough to make me jump. Strange that such a horrible sound can come out of such a pretty little girl. Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 We're gonna need video! Willa is a gentle snorer too. And a barker. And a heeeener. She gets that last one from her brother, who won't let me go upstairs without the most baleful of whines. Off-topic: How is Milo today?

MerseyGrey Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Is it a yawnscream? Buddy does that but I find it quite cute so I’m not sure it can be the same noise. Other than that, I think his noises are pretty standard greyhound noises, including the flappitypuffity that his lips do when he sighs Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Mine have mostly just had the standard greyhound noises, but I will admit Val started to gently snore in her last couple of years and it always made me smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyTalk was my first venture onto social media, and then I created an Instagram account solely to post photos of Buddy on GreyTalk (and it’s a bit addictive so no more social media for me!)
