My first waking thought:

Written by

There is no inherent evolutionary benefit for small dogs that yip incessantly for no good reason.

I’m serious. I was rudely awakened in the early hours of dawn by a small, yipping dog that stays in the blocks of flats opposite my window. That sucked because I hate having my sleep interrupted. I have trouble sleeping at night and some sleep disorders to boot, so getting a good rest can sometimes be quite a challenge.

Coincidentally, Cowboy Caleb posted a link to a visual opinion piece in the New York Times which provides another perspective on the difficulties of getting a good night’s sleep.

I hope small, yipping dogs get bred out of the evolutionary chain soon.

    Aww, that does suck. Sorry to hear about that.

    And, small yipping dogs… there’s a part of me that just can’t stand them. They try so hard to use their little yippy voices to make up for their lack of size… it annoys me to no end.

    But, upon further examination of these little guys, i think it’s really the owners, not the dogs. The culprits are those who have not trained their dogs to behave. They let their dogs loose.

      Re: the culprits – that’s true!
