The Secret Language of Dogs

I work in a dog hotel, so I have heard a lot of different types of barks.  The scream.  The howl.  The yip.  The "woof".  I've heard them all...so many times, in fact, that I've learned which noise belongs to which dog.  They have a language all their own - the Jack Russell's yips mean Take me out and throw a ball for me, please, while the Beagle's whines mean Get in here and rub my belly!

This made me think about Riley's "language" and what his different sounds might mean.  Though I'm sure there are others, here are Riley's top 8 sounds, translations included:

Ruh!  Ruh!  Ruh! - "You left me alone at home for way! too! long! and I am soooo excited to see you!" or "Stop kissing/hugging/tapping each other on the shoulder, Mom and Dad!  I am the only one in this house who gets physical affection!"

Rrrrrr... - "Oooohh, rubbing my head into the couch cushions feels so good!" or "I want to play and you are ignoring me!  Throw my toy immediately!"

Roorooroo! - "I just heard the words 'go for walk' come out of your mouth and I am just! too! excited!"

What?  Did you just say the magic 'W' word?!

Ack. - "Whoops.  I drank too much water too quickly...and some came back out onto the carpet.  Sorry..."

Yip! - "Dammit, Dad!  You stepped on my paw again!" or "I am asleep and having a very exciting dream so please don't disturb me, okay?"

Jingle, jingle... - "Excuse me.  Excuse me?  It is very late at night and you guys are sleeping...but I really need to go pee.  So I will just sit here and scratch at my collar."

Soooo...is anyone going to take me outside?  Anyone?

Snuffle snuffle... - "Why is the door shut?  I know you're in there..." or "You came home from work smelling like other dogs!  How dare you?!"

Burrrrp. - "Thank you for the delicious treat." (Seriously, Riley's burps could win a contest.  I've never heard anything like that from a dog.  They sound like a human man's belch - it's crazy.)

What about you?  Does your dog have a language all his own?
