Oh, I love them, but don't get me wrong. They're strong willed, stubborn and when unhappy about anything...very, very loud. I know exactly the sound you speak of in your blog, I used to hear it every time I took my female to the groomer. I'd walk in, apologize profusely, and tip quite a nice amount. It's just led me to not take her anymore because I was so embarrassed.

Bless you for dealing with the little buggers when they're in that mood. I don't begrudge your outlet here in the least. :)
