The one that’s your avatar? I can see why, they are an annoying breed of little yappers.
"They"? He's a Chow/Chihuahua/Eskimo Dog mix. I wasn't aware there are enough if them to have a reputation for
anything.
He's actually not yappy at all, but our terrier and our full-on chihuahua certainly are. Our other three dogs are generally quiet. The loudest animal I ever had was a donkey. She could literally be heard for miles. I walk every day on our dirt road, and sometime I would hear her, two miles from home. Asses generally are quite yappy, of course, you may have noticed. I used to have guinea hens and peacocks: both loud for birds. Thankfully the local barn owl carried off the guinea hens. The peacocks died of vanity.
He is also Puerto Rican - pulled right off the beach and shipped to New England. Are you describing Puerto Ricans as yappy? If so, you may expect Mayor Wu's Brain Police at your door any minute, or perhaps a gaggle of angry prog fat chicks from some local college.
Or perhaps you see "yappy" as a compliment, being a little on the yappy side yourself, not that I am in a position to cast aspersions in the area.
As for K, he was a vile person imho, not that my o is actually all that h, as you may have noticed. And no, it was another dog to which he referred, a blind one, as a matter of fact, since, in keeping with K's wishes, deceased.
