Kuk kik guarding mother

People called him Panda bear

When he was young

As a little dog

His two back feet were floppy like a seal

So we fed him calcium

He runs fast now

He wants to be king of the pack like all the rest

Get all the girl dogs for himself

But he's just too sweet, too nice a dog

So he guards mother instead

(mother-in-law = mother)

At the gate

Shih tzus Fah, Buk Bui, and Fang at our gate.

They want to run around with the neighborhood dogs at night.

At the end of our road where all the neighborhood garbage cans sit

Is where the neighborhood dogs meet at night

And feast

And do dog things I guess

Our dogs want to go out and do all these dog things too

But we worry about their safety

The other dogs are much bigger

Wanna be rugby stars leaping into the scrum

Monkey's string words together

I have a strong suspicion that my Shih Tzus communicate like this too.

Will have to get down on my all fours and investigate.

Scientists identified two call types "pyows" and "hacks"

which the monkeys use to alert each other to danger

1. a string of pyows warned of a loitering leopard

2. a burst of hacks indicated a hovering eagle

3. several pyows, followed by a few hacks, told the group to move to safer ground

4. The pyow-hack sequence means something like 'let's go'

5. pyows by themselves have multiple functions

6. hacks are generally used as alarm calls.

Monkeys cantalk to each other using sentences

Maybe there is hope for my eight Shih Tzus.
