Nope. The ‘Barking’ is strictly based on … er … where the barking is coming ‘from’ … (snicker-giggle)

Do you know how happy that makes me? I’m grinning from ear to ear! Thank you!

I posted an adventure story today that Harry might like. It’s called “The Magic Banana”. Read some to him and see what he thinks, okay?

“Gwammie, will you pway cahs wiff me? I can be the police cah and you can be the twash twuck.”

Hi Dave. You were going to explain more about this as I have no idea what we’re talking about.
