Getting used to a new sound in the morning

So the question of the day is: What goes "whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, slurrrrrrrrrrrrp"?

The answer, of course, is Baker Rabbitt.

Baker has been sleeping in Colin's room with him. Chuisle was, and still is to a large extent, jealous that Baker is taking over much of her territory and her routines. Then again, Chuisle has other privileges now that she didn't have before this family "relative" is spending time here. Chuisle now gets to stay up and go to bed when we go to bed (vs Colin's 9 pm weekday bed time). Chuisle has a full time play companion. If I am too tired, too busy, too preoccupied to play with Chuisle, as long as Baker is around, she always seems to have plenty of energy to romp around with Chuisle ... play tag with toys ... or see if she can get to Chuisle's ears faster than Chuisle can turn her nose and mouth away.

Getting back to the noise ... If by chance I am not out of bed first thing in the morning, Colin will let Baker out of his room at about 6 am., presumably so he can sleep longer without dog interruptions. He used to do the same thing with Chuisle, and the difference is that all I heard from Chuisle was "slurrrrrrrrrrrp" (on the side of my face) ... this boxer has no tail, or not enough of a one that if it wags it'll bump into anything ... on the other hand, Baker has a long tail, and she wags it constantly and quickly when she's happy. So first thing in the morning, if I am not out of bed, she'll come bouncing down the hall from Colin's bedroom to mine, with the tail slapping anything and everything from the doorways to walls to floors ... whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap ... followed by a slurrrrrrrrrrrrp on the side of my face is her method of saying "hey, I'm happy I am out of the room, now get up, I need to go outside and pee!"

And know what? It works!
