Mine all do that every morning and evening. That's why they are not 
let outside before 7 AM.  They do want to tell the world that they 
are on duty.  The rest of the day they are pretty quiet.  All except 
for today, the dog next door is upset about something, and mine are 
all lurking at the fence and helping out. But it's almost time to 
come in for their afternoon naps, while I return to work.
Most pyrs do have a barking pattern and thankfully I don't have a non-
stopper.  That's why I was wondering if Paddy had just passed one of 
the milestone growth periods. My male always tended to over react for 
a while, once the thought he was all grown up. <ha>  There could also 
be something only he is hearing that has him upset. Or some change in 
the neighborhood. I find it odd that if he had been quiet before and 
now has started non-stop barking.  A change in something has 
occurred, routine, construction near by.  ??  Anyone else have ideas?
